+1 the Vote” was created in order to harness the power of friendship and ignite the most powerful voting bloc in the country. To date, the campaign has featured a first-of-its-kind +1 the Vote Registration Tool, PSAs encouraging young people to bring their friends to the polls, and an interactive election map profiling young candidates for office.

The campaign culminates with the "+1 The Vote Election Afterparty" on Tuesday, November 6th at Miami Dade College (MDC). The “Afterparty” will kick off when the polls close in Florida and celebrate the efforts of young people across the nation getting out the vote.

Charlamagne Tha God and Liza Koshy will co-host MTV’s "+1 The Vote Election Afterparty." Grammy® Award-winner Ashanti, Jazz Jennings, and the co-founders of “March For Our Lives” are set to make special appearances. Fat Joe, PRETTYMUCH, DJ Nasty and Lauren Jauregui are all schedule to perform.

With just one week until Election Day, MTV’s new research reveals:

* 20% increase in young people’s likelihood to encourage a friend to vote in the upcoming midterm election (31% in June, 37% in October)

* 84% said they would likely attend a party at their local polling station, and it would serve as further motivation to vote

* 62% of young people said they had already encouraged someone to register to vote over the past few months

* 61% of young people reported they are likely to go with a friend to their local polling station to vote

In addition, MTV announced two innovative partnerships to further encourage get out the vote efforts:

- MTV and Tinder teamed up to bolster voter turnout. The dating app’s users will see messaging encouraging them to bring a “+1” to the polls on Election Day.

- The youth brand is also partnering with Postmates to give a food credit to young people across the country who are celebrating the election with a friend. Users will need to tag a friend and use the hashtag #plus1thevote.
