Men looking to pick up on the gay smartphone app Grindr​ are set to be inundated with Greens political advertising as the party pursues all avenues to win lower house seats.

Geographically targeted ads on Grindr - "the largest gay social network" - will be used to promote Greens candidates in Higgins and Batman in Melbourne.

After being successfully used by the Victorian Greens in their upset win in Prahran at the 2014 election, Jason Ball said he will use the advertising to promote his campaign to unseat Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer, who holds the seat by 9.9 per cent.

Prahran sits within the federal seat of Higgins and has a large gay community with many other people supportive of gay marriage.
