Gamepolitics notes that starting next Monday, Xbox Live users will be able to register to vote using their game console. They’ll also be able to participate in polls and “voice their views to the presidential candidates.” Quoting the press release: “This is the first time that Rock the Vote has joined forces with an entertainment partner such as Xbox to reach voters under 30. Xbox LIVE is the largest on the internet social network connected to the TV, with membership totaling 12 million — if Xbox LIVE were a say, it would rank as the country’s seventh largest, giving it approximately 20 electoral votes. Xbox also will have a presence at both the Democratic and Republican conventions, promoting the Rock the Vote partnership and educating delegates about creating a safer entertainment environment on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE using the built-in parental controls known as Family Settings.”
