Telecommunications Leader Joins Nonpartisan
“Democracy at Work” Program
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:FTR), a national
leader in providing communications services to urban, suburban, and
rural communities announced today it has joined as a partner in
Democracy at Work, the California Secretary of State’s nonpartisan
voter education, awareness and registration program.
“Frontier is proud to partner with the Secretary of State to
promote civic engagement in the communities we serve. An engaged
electorate is vital to a healthy democracy and thriving economy,”
said Joe Gamble, Frontier’s West Region senior vice president.
“Frontier’s expansive network system will play a vital role in
helping inform eligible voters on ways to participate in our
democracy; and our expanded broadband network in rural areas will
further facilitate online voter registration.”
As a public service, Frontier will leverage its FiOS® Broadband
Internet network and FiOS Television communication channels to
support the Democracy at Work program and help spread the word
about voter registration and voting to employees, customers and
communities across California.
“Frontier’s diverse digital network provides a powerful platform
to communicate directly with voters and enable new opportunities
for online voter registration,” said California Secretary of State
Alex Padilla. “This partnership shows how government and business
working together can harness the power of technology to strengthen
our democracy. I thank Frontier for signing up to join our
Democracy at Work program and applaud their commitment to serve
California’s communities.”
Throughout the 2018 election cycle, voter awareness messages
from the Democracy at Work program will be displayed on digital
billboards along Southern California freeways in key parts of
Frontier’s service territory, in public service announcements on
the Frontier FiOS TV broadcast system, on paperless bills for
Frontier customers, and on Frontier social media.
In addition, a Frontier employee message campaign will include
reminders that California law allows time off to vote on election
day. Democracy at Work posters at Frontier work sites statewide
will identify key election dates, voter registration deadlines and
information on how to register to vote online.
