  1. This is really good idea. I think a big reason people don't register to vote is that it's inconvenient. If it's convenient and on this app I use everyday, then I would register to vote too.

    1. Snapchat is a app that allows you to take a selfie with your friends and here are the things on Snapchat you press a button the one with the black hair and a bandanna on it then you look like a character from the tv show

  3. I think this is a good idea because snapchat is such a popular app it will be easy for young adults to vote. Other ways to get young adults to vote is by other social medias as well. Such as Facebook,Inatagram,Twitter,etc. This will attract more young adults to register and vote.

  5. I think Snapchat creating TurboVote was a goof idea because so many young people are on social media and do not realize that politics are more important than updating your story. Snapchat has made the registration process as easy as possible by putting a feature on an app that almost every has, and people are always on their phones anyway. Therefore, it would take a few minutes after or before a post to make sure your voice is heard.

  6. I think it's a good idea because it save people the time from getting off the couch for the lazy people out there. People would register to vote because they could do it on the phone so they don't have to waste gas money. But it seems like a win win situation because snapchat also gets more people using their app because of it.

  7. I think it would help a little if they advertise it on there app. It would definitely bring the young crowd to consider to vote as well.

  8. I think it is a good idea because even though majority may not vote on phone, they can still get a bit more votes than previous years. Some people think it is a hassle to get up and go vote but now they can vote in the comfort of their own home.

  10. The social media company has a core audienceof young adults and teens, and roughly 57% of the people who moved to register were between the ages of 18 and 24, the company said on Tuesday.

    1. I thought Snapchat is a app that must be found on Play Store

  11. I think this a good idea. The reason why I think so is because in this generation people rarely watch T.V they usually be on their phones usually teens. So having this on something they use everyday and almost all day would encourage people to vote.

  12. I think that this would be a good idea. More people would participate now that they can vote from home on their phone.

  13. its a good idea but at the same time all this technology makes people lazy now and days there can be a library up the street to vote at and they would just rather stay home and vote on snap chat sometimes I think they take technology to far.

  14. I think that this would be a good idea because 100% of the population are on there phones 24/7

  15. This is a really good idea. By having snapchat one of the biggest social media sites making voting an easy process it can encourage the users to actually register.

  16. I think this is a really good idea. It's a good idea because it gave people the opportunity to vote without even having to go anywhere. Also it was found within an app that they most likely use everyday. People now and days are lazy and so brainwashed with their phones. Therefore, it is easy to catch someone's eye on Snapchat. They didn't even have to leave their couch.

  18. I think this is a good way to encourage young people to vote, since most millennials spend most of their time on their cell phones. Most people seem to ignore the signs put up in cities and communities, and the campaign commercials on television. Even the news and political cartoons are often omitted. Social media is the best way to raise awareness.

  19. The company Snapchat doing this is a pretty good idea to me, As long as your 18 or older then you are free to go and vote. And them partnering with the non-partisan voting group Democracy Works and allowed users to register with a portable device makes it so that its easier. This would make voting a lot easier for everyone, and eliminates the line. And snapchat helping over 418,000 users register to vote is incredible.

  20. I feel like its just a reminder to remind people that voting is underway. Now if you want to vote is your choice, but to me its a reminder that voting is underway.

  23. I think this is a really good thing, most snapchat users are between the age 18 and 24. This will help people get informed on how to register and vote.

  24. Using snap chat to vote is a good idea. Many people use snap chat on a daily bases and having a voting machine on it will most likely make more people to vote cause like what Justin said, it's more convenient, than driving down to go vote.

  25. Using snapchat to vote might be a good thing because a lot of people use snapchat at a young age so this will probably bring in more voters.

    I think this is a good idea because social media is a big role in our current generations everyday life. Letting it be known that voting is important by encouraging them everyday.

  27. I think this was a good idea because most people between the ages of 18-24 use social media so it was good way for them to register to vote.

  28. This idea could redefine how voters vote in the future. With the population growing yearly and thousands of immigarants filing for citizenship, the fact that a world platform like Snapchat is willing to help with the process is very encouraging to American voters.

  29. I think it's a great idea. It's important to get young people to start voting so why not start reaching out to them wherever possible? Considering how many of us are Snapchat users, it's a pretty clever idea.

  31. The idea basically redefines the way to vote because we are always on social media..so they are expanding ways to vote.

  32. I think that its a good idea because many people these days don't pick up the morning paper or turn on the news so being able to vote on social media which people are on 24/7 is a great idea

  35. This is a very good idea. The more people we get to vote the more input we will be able to have on this country. A lot of people use snapchat so that's a good method. Using celebrities to set an example and letting it go on social media is a good idea.

  38. This would lead to people who aren’t into politics to get into it and lead to more voters and more of active public and crowd for the nations leaders. Snapchat is a arguably the most used social media platform currently so this is a direct way to get More voters
