Google’s Search Engine Directs Voters to the Ballot Box

Google is pulling another lever on its influential search engine in an effort to boost voter turnout in November’s U.S. presidential election.

Beginning Tuesday, Google will provide a summary box detailing state voting laws at the top of the search results whenever a user appears to be looking for the information. The breakdown will focus on the rules in the state where the search request originates unless a user asks for another location.

Google is introducing the how-to-vote instructions a month after the search giant unveiled a similar feature that explains how to register to vote in states across the U.S..

Google says its get-out-the-vote campaign is driven by public interest in the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
