Snap's Latest Offering For Young Wannabe Politicians

Snap Inc SNAP launched a fresh 'Run for Office' in-app tool to encourage young adults to run for local office.
The tool will help younger users engage with democracy easily by tackling common barriers young people face on involvement in local politics.
"Powered with information from BallotReady, this simple tool will help Snapchatters explore hundreds of opportunities to run for local office based on the issues they care most about — from City Neighborhood Board and Township Council to School Board and State Representative."
The users will also be able to nominate their friends to run for office through the tool. Users can share stickers to start campaigning on Snapchat with their friends.
The tool's personalized campaign hub will help users with the steps required to get on the ballot.
The hub also provides information about filing deadlines and signature requirements.
Snap shares are trading higher, rebounding after dipping in sympathy with Facebook Inc FB on October 4. Social media stocks fell following criticisms of Facebook by an ex-employee and Facebook and Instagram outages.
Price Action: SNAP shares closed higher by 3.06% at $73.41 on Tuesday.
