Several prominent authors are joining publisher Penguin Random House’s campaign to encourage voter registration and turnout.

PRH officially announced the Book the Vote initiative on Tuesday, and it will formally kick off on September 25, according to a press release.

Along with voting organization HeadCount, PRH will set up registration drives at previously scheduled events with authors including John Green and Jodi Picoult.
