#MTVElectThis Campaign to feature “Puppet Politics” and short-form animated series

Anyone know who’s running this year?

For those missing Fusion’s No, You Shut Up! may have a savior in some new stuff from MTV. Enter the #MTVElectThis campaign which hopes to encourage millennial voters to get out there and vote. It’s not working on me, but at least we get to see some original content come out of this. Check out show descriptions and videos below:

“Infographica” – An ongoing, short-form animated series that illustrates hyper-topical MTV polling data on critical issues. “Infographica” will be released multiple times a week across MTV’s on-air, online and digital platforms. To view the first Infographica click HERE.

“Robo-Roundtable” – A short-form linear and digital series that pokes fun at puppet politics with four social media-powered, life-sized animatronic robots that give real youth voices a national stage. The Robo-Roundtable will engage in daily, ongoing on-air and online debates, short-form social media, Facebook Live and Snapchat content and deliver breaking news throughout the election season. Additionally, beginning today, audiences will have the opportunity to actually voice the Robo-Roundtable discussions by tweeting their thoughts using the hashtag #roboroundtable. “Elect This” will select tweets throughout the election cycle from online debates between young people and politicians and project those opinions through the four animatrons.
