San Francisco Sep 25 (IANS) Ahead of the US mid-term polls in November Twitter has launched #BeAVoter campaign that will be featured in top US trends and in a prompt in users timelines on its platform.
Through the campaign Twitter would connect users to TurboVote -- a non-profit organisation that could help them register to vote sign up for election reminders and apply for absentee ballots.
"The #BeAVoter effort will be featured in Twitter s top US trends and in a prompt in users timelines " Bridget Coyn Senior Public Policy Manager at Twitter said in a blog post on Monday.
People on Twitter in the US will see a prompt in their home timeline with information on how to register to vote.
"#BeAVoter as the top US trend promoted by @TwitterGov will create even more access to voter registration information including election reminders and an absentee ballot FAQ " added Coyn.
There is also a new emoji connected to #BeAVoter.
Facebook has also expanded its US election reminders to include local elections last year.
Instagram also launched its voter registration campaign in partnership with TurboVote earlier in September.
