Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has started to use the newly-launched Augmented Reality (AR) game Pokémon Go as a campaigning tool to register voters. Campaign organisers for Clinton started campaigning at PokéStops and gyms to register Pokémon Go players to vote. Vox.com reported that Clinton campaign already has actual people registered to vote as a result of its Pokémon strategy. Pokémon Go has already overtaken Twitter in terms of daily users and has seen people spending more time on its app than on Facebook. “Join us as we go to the Pokestop in Madison Park and put up a lure module, get free pokemon, and battle each other while you register voters and learn more about Hillary Clinton,” the description of the event reads.
