After months of campaigning it all comes down to this one day. And whether you're looking to share the excitement of Election Night, or an undecided voter looking for last-minute information before you head to the polls, there are smartphone apps to help. Karin Caifa (prono: KAY-fuh) got a few suggestions from app review website Appolicious.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --
ON ELECTION NIGHT, A LOT OF FOLKS WILL BE LOOKING RIGHT HERE TO CHICAGO, WHERE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WILL SPEND ELECTION NIGHT TO SEE WHETHER HE'S RE-ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. OTHERS WILL LOOK TO BOSTON WHERE MITT ROMNEY HAS HIS HEADQUARTERS. BUT IF YOU CAN'T BE IN EITHER CITY, DON'T WORRY, THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT.
Into Now, which is a great second screen application that will allow you to interact with others while you're watching election returns on Tuesday night. Congress Plus will help you learn about literally every member of the sneate and house of representatives - voting record, financiers, other legislative activity and contact information - which also extends to their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube presence And then another is a fun fact-checker-slash-game called Settle It by Politifact which really diagnoses which candidates and surrogates are telling the truth, sort of the truth or have their pants on fire.

Every four years not only do we get to choose who's the leader of the free world, but an election is also a great showcase for technological innvoation.
IN 2008 IT WAS THE DAWN OF SOCIAL MEDIA. IN 20-12, IT WAS A RISE IN APPS AND EVEN MORE SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS. WHAT WILL INFLUENCE THE 20-16 PRESIDENTIAL RACE? WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. IN CHICAGO, I'M KARIN CAIFA.
