DJs at the Polls
Wednesday 28th October, 2026
DJs at the Polls brought local performers to more than 70 voting sites around Cleveland and Akron on Election Day. The hook was simple: turn polling places into lively community spaces, using music to make voting feel more welcoming and encourage turnout.
Why it worked: It tied a hard election deadline to a counterintuitive visual—DJs at polling places—offering a clear turnout metric and vivid community scenes.
The lesson: Consider hijacking a fixed civic deadline with a surprising, photogenic twist at scale, promising measurable impact and easy on-the-day visuals.
