Frank Ocean offers free merch to fans in key U.S. midterm voting cities

Frank Ocean voting merch

Following a surprise follow-up this morning to his Beats 1 radio series, Blonded Radio, Frank Ocean posted an image on his Tumblr, offering free merchandise to fans who voted in key areas during the 2018 midterms in support of certain candidates.

The poster reads:

Bring proof (a photo of you at the ballot) that you voted to any of the locations below and get some free merch. Because God Bless America.

Premium Goods
Houston
2416 Times Blvd. Houston, TX 77005

Lower East Coast
Miami
84 NE 39th St. Miami, FL 33137

A Ma Maniere
Atlanta
969 Marietta St. NW Atlanta, GA 30318

Black Market USA
Dallas
5509 W Lovers Ln Dallas, TX 75209

P.S Locations were chosen in states to support specific candidates. Stacey Abrams in Georgia, who if elected would be America’s first black female governor, Andrew Gillum in Florida, who would become the state’s first black governor and Beto O’Rourke who would be the first democratic senator in Texas in 24 years.

Voters are encouraged to bring proof of their vote to any of these locations for free merchandise. It is important to note that taking a selfie or photographing the polls is not legal in some states. A voting stub, or at the very least a sticker, seems to be accepted at most of these locations.

The 42% featured on the poster and merchandise is believed to reference 2016 statistics showing that the same percentage of eligible voters did not turn out in that year’s election.

Some locations ran out of shirts quickly, but hinted that additional stock was on its way. Available either today or tomorrow.

You can find a gallery of the merchandise available to voters below.

The undelivered 7-inch single, sold by Blonded in November 2019, has been stricken by a little demon: the coronavirus. In February 2020, customers were first notified that their orders would be replaced with a new record, later revealed to be Ocean’s unreleased single “These Days.” However, those orders are now being refunded due to supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
