Keeping up with the 2012 election with Google.com/elections
Monday, January 2, 2012
From the nineteenth century’s pamphlets to the twentieth century’s TV-ad revolution, our elections have always been shaped by how we communicate and consume information. There’s no question that the Internet is set to deliver more political information, opinion and news than any other medium throughout 2012 elections. The web offers candidate and issue info to
voters
; networking and fundraising platforms for
campaigns
; and research and productivity tools for
journalists
.
Today, just in time for the Iowa Caucuses, we’re excited to launch
google.com/elections
, an election hub where citizens can study, watch, discuss, learn about, participate in and perhaps even make an impact on the
digital campaign trail
as it blazes forward to Tuesday, November 6th, 2012.
The site allows voters, journalists and campaigns to quickly sort through election info, by popularity, race or
issues
. Users can also check out the
Trends Dashboard
to take the web’s real-time political pulse by comparing
candidates’ YouTube video views
, search traffic, and Google News mentions. Campaign staffers, advocates and even you can utilize our tools and features to reach, engage and inspire voters.
There are a lot of miles to cover and coffee to be consumed before Election Day. We hope you’ll make
Google.com/elections
one of your regular online stops along the way.
