Snapchat adds feature to help young users run for political office

Powered by political resource site Ballot Ready, the new tool is intended to help users explore all the different political options in their local area, according to a blog post from the company. Users can see what positions are available to them, from being a member of their local neighborhood council to a state representative.

Run For Office is accessible by swiping down on the camera to open Snapchat’s in-app games, known as Minis. The tool has a portal that curates over 75,000 upcoming elections at both the federal and state levels for people to participate in.

Users can identify what they are most passionate about and then view related positions in the Run For Office app. It also provides access to various recruitment organizations and training programs to help aspiring politicians take that first step.
