Prospective governors and senators questioned over YouTube channels.
Ahead of crucial midterm elections in certain US states, Potato helped YouTube further the pre-election debate by delivering new social features in Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, Connecticut (senate), and Connecticut (governor).
The new app, embedded in partner YouTube channels, let voters submit and vote on key policy issues by suggesting questions for leading candidates to address.
The Iowa debate took place alongside Iowa Public Television, while the Nevada channel was backed by the Nevada Broadcasters Association. In Colorado, NBC's 9News were involved in promoting healthy discussion ahead of these important votes.
