The next election cycle is expected see more than $6 billion in the total cost of TV and digital ads, according to a report released by political ad-tracking firm Advertising Analytics on Tuesday.

According to the firm, that figure marks a 57 percent increase from last year's midterm elections, largely driven by a significant boost in digital video advertising.

Of the $6 billion total, $1.6 billion is projected be spent on digital video platforms, like Facebook and Google, while $4.4 billion is projected to be spent on traditional platforms like broadcast and cable TV stations — more than double what Democrats and Republicans spent on TV ads in the last presidential elections.
