Dating app Tinder is trying to help young voters in the US figure out who to vote for in this year’s presidential elections.

With President Obama set to vacate the White House after serving the maximum two terms, his successor will be decided in November.

Tinder’s new ‘Swipe the Vote’ feature will give voters more information on the policies of prominent candidates such as Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and, yes, Donald Trump.

The idea is to encourage Tinder-using Millennials to vote in November’s elections.

Tinder will offer questions based on different political views (Tinder)

Users will be shown a ‘Swipe the Vote’ video card while swiping through profiles.

Tapping on this will fire up a series of questions based on political issues where users do the usual swipe right for yes and left for no.

Tinder users can learn more about each issue by tapping on the card, just as they would to read more on a Tinder match’s profile.

The answers are then collated and the user is matched with the presidential candidate that best suits their views.

They can then compare these with other candidates, and share their results on on social media.

Presumably the app will be updated as candidates drop out of the race.

Users can also register to vote from within the app

Obviously, UK voters can’t take part in the U.S. election, but it could give a interesting glimpse and what tech companies do in preparation for the next General Election on this side of the pond.
