Read MoreHide Full Article

Snap (SNAP - Free Report) announced a collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations to launch an online campaign and encourage young people to vote in the Dutch provincial council of water authority elections on Mar 15, 2023.

This campaign includes different types of augmented reality filters, lens and stickers, which will be available from Mar 8 to Mar 15, on Snapchat.

On selection of the lens, two virtual boxes will be placed in the actual space where 12 statements will appear. The users can vote "true" or "false" to test their knowledge of the provincial council and water authority elections. In an interactive manner, everyone can learn about the provincial council and water authorities.

There will be a daily countdown starting from Mar 8, which will feature election filters, lens and stickers. On the election day, there will be two filters: one for people who have already cast their votes and one for those who are yet to cast the votes.

According to research, the voter turnout in provincial council and water authority elections is lower than other elections. Almost two-thirds of eligible voters skip this election. To encourage more people to vote, the government is running a campaign, which also includes this collaboration with Snapchat.

Most of the young people have no idea about how provincial and water authorities tackle problems related to housing, water management and climate change.
