social media on election day
Stay tuned for CIRCLE's press releases regarding youth turnout--this evening and then early tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, to get a polling location for yourself or someone else, text *pp* (polling place) and then the street address and zip to 69866.
To report conditions at your polling place (thanks to Archon Fung), visit the My Fair Elections Facebook page.
You can also report problems with voting via Twitter. Alison Fine says to use Twitter as follows:
- #[zip code] to indicate where you're voting; ex., "#12345"
#machine for machine problems; ex., "#machine broken, using prov. ballot"
#reg for registration troubles; ex., "#reg I wasn't on the rolls"
#wait:minutes for long lines; ex., "#wait:120 and I'm coming back later"
#good or #bad to give a quick sense of your overall experience
#EP+your state if you have a serious problem and need help from the Election Protection coalition; ex., #EPOH
Or use a cell phone:
Send a text message to 66937 that begins with "#votereport"
Key in a report by calling (567) 258-VOTE/8683
