Snap brings back its popular 'Dancing Hot Dog' AR effect this time in election-themed clothes and carrying a very key awareness message to continue pushing for more people to vote.
As reported by The Verge:

"The character is expected to appear on Election Day, November 3rd, wearing an Uncle Sam-like outfit spinning a sign urging users to find their polling place. If a user clicks on the sign, they're driven to Snap's Before You Vote tool, which assists users in locating their polling locations and information about the issues and candidates on their ballot."

As noted, the push is part of Snapchat's broader election awareness initiative, which it says has already resulted in encouraging more than 1.24 million users to register for the poll.

The Dancing Hot Dog became an icon in itself back in 2017, even spawning its own product line available in Snap's store.
But since then, the Dancing Hot Dog has had to pay the piper and experience the strain of momentary fame and the aftereffects of a viral pop culture hit.

But it's back-and with Snap wanting more young voters to show up to the polls, it might even help pump up turnout, and mean more Americans are heard from.

Snap users can also use its 'I Voted' sticker to encourage participation, along with sharing dancing foodstuff within the app.
