The initial message is short and to the point: "It's almost Election Day, know where to vote."

That message is accompanied by a "no thanks" or "show me" option. If you click "show me," you're taken to another page that offers a search field that will show you your polling address based on where you registered to vote.

Back in October, Google made a big push to show how users could harness the power of Google to learn how to register to vote.

This new campaign, with just around 48 hours before the election, is likely too late for those who haven't already registered to vote. Nevertheless, it serves as a powerful reminder for anyone in the U.S. who might be thinking of passing on their right to vote on Tuesday.
