UK voters endured six weeks of election campaigning in the lead up to the general election result very few could have predicted. We’d like you to share your thoughts on coverage of the election on both traditional and social media, including which news events or moments most influenced your vote.
The election saw some innovative approaches to campaigning and unprecedented drives for voter registration from groups such as the NUS. A Labour activist used the dating app Tinder to encourage people to register to vote by sending potential dates links to the registration site. Taxi-hailing app Uber encouraged users not to be “a passenger in the general election” and showed them a link to the official page for voter registration during the wait for their cab.
Was there one particular campaign or article that most influenced your vote? Where did you find the most useful and up to date information? Did you share your views on social media? And how useful was social media compared to “mainstream” sources?
