Shoppers in stores will be able to access a digital hub where they can check their voter registration status and register to vote, or even sign up for election reminders, the company said.
"In a year marked with such uncertainty, amid a pandemic and social unrest, our country's future — and our collective role in shaping it — has never been more important," said Richard Johnson, Foot Locker’s chairman and CEO, in a statement.
"At Foot Locker, our mission is to inspire and empower youth culture, so partnering with Rock The Vote was a natural fit to help educate and amplify the voices of today's youth," he continued.
