Every election, everyone always asks how to get young people to the polling station. But here's a novel idea: free, personalized nudes.
An artist and sexuality studies student in Montreal who goes by Jessica Simps is offering just that. The votes4nudes campaign will send you a saucy photo on Instagram if you can prove you've voted.
Though it started with just Simps sending photos herself, now there's a team of 20 women across Canada calling themselves "Sluts Against Harper" sending the pictures.
And the best part? It's totally working. Simps said she's received proof from hundreds of Canadians who have voted early or with absentee ballots.
"It’s sparking conversations. It’s getting young people to talk to their friends."
Although the tone of the campaign is anti-Conservative, Simps isn't advocating voting for any particular party. Rather, she's a fan of strategic voting and VoteTogether.ca.
"Not only do we need voter turnout but if we’re going to use our votes wisely that site is really helpful," she said.
"I’m saying do your research, vote strategically."
