Google has just started rolling out a fantastic little server-side update for its official Search application for Android. The purpose of this upgrade is to keep you on top of the latest 2016 US elections news by providing you with card-based information on the positions of each candidate, live tallies of the results and voting reminders for you own primary.

If you open up Google on your smartphone and search for a candidate, you will notice that the results page has had a complete overhaul. A brief rundown of the candidate, together with a summary of their policies and their stance on particular issues, are now present in a simple, easy on the eye Google Now-like card.

Searching for “primary results” will pull the most recent delegate count for each candidate in a tradtional bar chart. You can also turn on push-notifications to recieve alerts when  a entrant wins a primary.

Pretty neat, huh?
