The Kardashian-Jenner clan might not be to everyone's taste, but there is no denying that they are a very influential family, especially Kylie Jenner.

Now, Kylie has proven that she can use her social media power to do a lot more than just sell makeup, and has helped boost voter registration for the upcoming US election by 1,500% with a bikini post.

After successfully getting the eyes of all her followers on her, Kylie captioned the post: "but are you registered to vote? click the link in my bio.. let's make a plan to vote together [sic]."

Kylie then included a link in her bio to the Vote.org website, which allows people to check their registration status, and after the makeup mogul's post, traffic to the website increased by a whopping 1,500% from Instagram.

According to TMZ, Vote.org recorded an 80% increase in the number of its voter registration and verification tool from the prior day.

In layman's terms, this means that 48,000 users were accessing the website through Kylie's profile each day.

As of Sunday last week, 174,000 people had used the tool and 2,900 of them were for Instagram, so Kylie's picture made a real difference to the website.

Only 138 million of 328 million Americans voted in the November 2016 election, and with over a month to go until election day, a million people have already voted in what's the highest rate of early voting in US electoral history, Forbes reports.

Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida, told The Independent: "We've never seen so many people vote this far in advance of a presidential election before. We are in uncharted territory."

To put the difference in the number of early voters into context, the Independent reports that just 9,525 people had voted at this time in 2016.
