Jaguars launch program to get fans to vote

Jacksonville Jaguars launched an organization-wide commitment to voter education to encourage fans to “Get in the Game” with a call for civic engagement.

The campaign kicked off today (September 1st) and will continue through Election Day, November 3rd.

The Jaguars are using social media and game days, to get the word out.

The Jaguars will celebrate voting on game day on Oct. 18 when they host the Detroit Lions at TIAA Bank Field, the day before early voting in Florida begins.

They’re also collaborating with grassroots activities and local and national partnerships.

Jaguars players, coaches and front office staff all recently participated in virtual voter education courtesy of RISE, a non-profit organization selected by the NFL to support their national NFL Votes campaign.
