Voters can now campaign for Hillary Clinton without even stepping foot inside a campaign office.

Hillary for America has just launched a 2016 app, which is also tied to the Democratic National Convention as a way to engage voters.


“Our campaign is committed to providing our supporters with the tools they need to be able to take action every day to fight Donald Trump and help put Hillary Clinton in the White House,” Hillary Clinton manager Robby Mook said in a prepared statement. “Whether it’s checking in at an organizing event, sharing one of Hillary’s speeches with their friends, or showing their support with a commit to vote card, the Hillary 2016 app will allow supporters to get involved in ways that meet the demands of their busy schedules and personal preferences.”

The app, which is built around a virtual campaign office, allows users to complete challenges — including checking in to an event or televised speech, sharing videos on Facebook, or taking a policy quiz. The more challenges completed, the more opportunities the user has to personalize their field and win awards like signed merchandise.

The app is available on iTunes and has the ability to sync with Twitter, Facebook, and SMS.

The use of mobile and social media is continuing its growth in campaigning. This year alone, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his running mate Mike Pence on Twitter, while Clinton announced her VP running mate Tim Kaine through a campaign text and on Twitter.

Apps such as these became popular, especially in 2012 when both Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama released their own campaign apps.
