Daters Find Midterm Voters More Attractive<\/b><\/p>\n

New data from OkCupid shows that singles who vote in local and midterm elections get more Likes and\u00a0Matches<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Ahead of National Voter Registration Day on September 20th, OkCupid and Vote.org<\/a> are teaming up to encourage young daters across the nation to register to vote and make their voices heard in this year\u2019s midterm elections. Beginning in September and running through Election Day in November, OkCupid will be driving its users in the United States to Vote.org<\/a>\u2019s resources to help people register to vote<\/a>, request an absentee ballot<\/a>, and find their polling\u00a0place<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Register to vote online\u00a0<\/em>here<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About 9 in 10 (86%) of nearly 3 million daters on OkCupid in the United States are currently registered to vote<\/strong>\u200a\u2014\u200aand singles are looking for people who participate in all<\/em> elections. Last year, people who said they vote in midterm and local elections got 35% more Matches and 26% more Likes than those who only vote in the general election<\/strong>. They also had 52% more conversations on our dating app<\/strong> when compared to people who said they don\u2019t\u00a0vote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Only on OkCupid can you match on what matters through in-app questions. This year, we\u2019ve found that politics is the biggest conversation starter and<\/em> dealbreaker. Our matching questions related to politics and voting have been answered more than 150 million times over the years<\/strong>. So we\u2019ve added brand-new in-app matching questions ahead of the 2022 midterm elections to help our daters navigate conversations around the upcoming election and biggest political issues:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Right now, almost 8 in 10 people on OkCupid<\/strong> (65% of Gen Z, 76% of Millennials and 83% of Gen X respondents) plan to vote in the <\/strong>2022 midterm elections<\/strong><\/a>, held on Tuesday, November 8th. And singles who plan to vote in the midterms are reaping the benefits. They are getting 31% more Matches, having 21% more conversations, and receiving 14% more\u00a0Likes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know our young daters are politically engaged. A majority of Gen Z (79%) and Millennial (86%) singles on OkCupid are registered to vote, and Millennials are most likely to say they couldn\u2019t date someone who doesn\u2019t vote.\u201d said Michael Kaye, head of global communications at OkCupid. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Vote.org<\/a> to help increase voter turnout and reach millions of young voters on OkCupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVoter registration and engagement among Generation Z and Millennials is increasing across the country,\u201d said Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with OkCupid, which reaches millions of engaged young people seeking connection with others. Just as OkCupid works to remove barriers from finding love, Vote.org<\/a> removes the hurdles associated with voting. Daters on OkCupid are planning for their future, and so is Vote.org<\/a>. Our democracy thrives when we connect and join together. Now, we\u2019re excited to work with OkCupid to energize more young people as they make their plan to vote on or before November\u00a08.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vote.org<\/a> is the nation\u2019s largest voter registration and activation platform in the country. Are you Vote Ready? Go to Vote.org<\/a> to register to vote<\/a>, verify your registration<\/a>, request an absentee ballot<\/a>, find your polling location<\/a>, sign up for election reminders<\/a> and more. Vote.org<\/a> is your one-stop shop to prepare to vote and make your voice\u00a0heard.<\/p>\n
