The brand-new Noticias Telemundo app is available for download at the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

It complements news information with the interactivity of mobile technology, resulting in a rewarding multiplatform experience."

The Noticias Telemundo app will be the only Spanish-language app in to provide real-time results on the night of the elections, due to the network's exclusive partnership with their parent company's NBC News division, the #1 news organization of the country.

In addition, the app provides a personalized experience, including the ability to choose content based on the user interest, push notifications, location-based information such as weather, live stream and exclusive election coverage.

Telemundo also aired the first set of #Yodecido public service announcements aimed at increasing Hispanic voter participation for 2016 to mark the one-year countdown to election day. The campaign, which targets new voters, incorporates talent like Adamari López, María Celeste Arrarás, Ximena Duque, José Díaz-Balart, Jorge Bernal, Yarel Ramos and Guad Venegas.

Telemundo News recently announced its multiplatform coverage plans for the presidential elections under its signature banner #YoDecido (I Decide), a one-of-a-kind effort to inform and empower Hispanic voters nationwide in close partnership with the leading news organization of the country, NBC News. In all, #YODECIDO will bring an unprecedented 275 hours of political coverage, coupled with the deployment of a robust digital platform designed to reach younger voters.
