Tonight (Tuesday, June 7) we’ll be sending out three sets of experimental notifications about the last significant primaries of the 2016 presidential election. We’ll send individual state results as they come in, insights from our reporters in the field at candidates’ events and, tomorrow morning, a recap of the ten most important highlights of the night.

If you’re already receiving notifications: You’ve probably landed on this page because you tapped on an alert. For future alerts, pull down on the notification to expand it to see all of the text.

If you’d like to sign up: Web notifications are currently only available on Chrome, so if you have an Android mobile phone (Samsung, included!), sign up here.

We’ll also be gathering feedback from those who participate and will send out a follow-up survey after the last alert on Wednesday. And when we have data and a good sense of what was most engaging to users, we’ll write up what we learned and post it here on Medium.

Questions or observations? Drop us a note: innovationlab@theguardian.com
