How do you get young people to vote? It's a question that millions have pondered. There have been all sorts of initiatives to try and get younger people out to vote, including campaigns by MTV and WWE. While there has been some moderate success, we still haven't seen that definitive initiative that really wins people over. The Icelandic Pirate Party thinks they have the perfect solution, and it involves Pokémon GO.

The Icelandic Pirate Party says that polling stations should become election PokéStops. The goal is to set up Pokémon GO lures at polling stations to help attract young voters to the area. I have to admit, the plan is a pretty interesting one and actually has some chance of working! Catch a few Pokémon and vote all at the same time! Thanks to Gerjet for the heads up.
