In the US, opening more spaces to vote in low-income districts correlates directly with voter participation. As the government could not handle the task of offering this public service to more voters in the US, a telecommunication company, Boost Mobile, stepped in and did it during the latest US elections. 

For them, offering such a "public service" was an amazing investment in marketing, PR and even Public Affairs, as it gave them a great reputation afterwards with everything related to their business.
