Google can help you vote for Trump or Hillary in the 2016 presidential election
The upcoming USA presidential election is rather wild. I won't go into specifics, but both of the major party candidates (Republican and Democrat) are going through some serious drama. It can make picking between Hillary (D) and Trump (R) quite difficult. If you don't like either of those choices, you can also choose the Libertarian or Green Party candidates, of course. Heck, you can even write someone else in if you want -- you are free to do what you will with your vote.
Have you never voted? Understandably, it can be a very intimidating experience the first time. If you haven't already registered to vote, you must first do that ASAP. Then, once registered, you have to find your polling location. Don't know where that even is? Luckily, thanks to Google, now everyone can be informed on how and where to vote!
"Whether you’re a first-time voter, a resident in a new state, or your state laws have changed since the last time you voted, you can now come to Google for information on how to vote in the upcoming election. This new in-depth search result provides information on ID requirements, deadlines, mail-in ballots and early voting. We hope this customized state-by-state guide will help you find the information you need quickly and easily to help get your voice heard", says Emily Moxley, Product Manager, Search, Google.
Moxley further says, "we're committed to making it easy for people to find information, and have their voices heard in November. So we're also making the data that powers our 'how to register to vote' and our 'how to vote' search results publicly available, so nonprofits and organizations promoting voter education can benefit and expand the reach of this critical information".
If you are ready to start exploring the exciting (and often depressing) world of presidential voting, head on over to Google and enter the aforementioned search terms of 'how to register to vote' or 'how to vote'. From there, you can prepare to vote in November. True, we are only in August, but Election Day will be here before you know it -- please do not hesitate in registering!
