Ariana Grande wants her fans to know that they have the power to say “thank u, next” when it comes to elections.

The “God Is A Woman” singer has partnered with the advocacy nonprofit HeadCount to set up booths during her Sweetener World Tour shows so fans can register to vote.

HeadCount wrote in a tweet that the #thankunextgen campaign allows the superstar’s fans to “make their voices heard.” A video shown Monday during Grande’s first performance  on her tour urges fans to “take a stand.” 

The pop star’s Sweetener World Tour began in Albany, New York, featuring music from her fourth album, “Sweetener,” and her fifth, “thank u, next.”
