HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Research has found that West Virginia's mobile voting app for overseas residents has increased voter turnout.

The Herald-Dispatch cites research done by University of Chicago associate professor Anthony Fowler, which was presented this month at the Election Science, Reform & Administration Conference at the University of Pennsylvania. Fowler found the app increased voter turnout by 3 to 5 percentage points.
