Use Twitter to Protect the Vote

Voters experiencing problems at the polls on Election Day can report it to Election Protection via text message or the web by using your Twitter account. This year's social media components will be used to amplify the Election Protection field and hotline efforts. The primary goal of this component is to drive stakeholders (voters and partner organizations) to the 866OurVote.org website, the Election Protection Coalition resources (EP) and most importantly the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline. Election Protection leadership will monitor all reports and coordinate response efforts with our field teams on the ground in order to ensure success of this year's program.

Examples of potential issues at the polls:

-Long lines
-Voter intimidation
-Suspicious behavior
-Voting machine malfunctions
-Registration errors

1. Tweets should include a description of the problem and a hashtag+zip code (ex. #22205). If you know your voting precinct number, it would also be helpful to add that.

2. Include in your tweet a simple hashtag of "EP" + state abbreviation-so if you are a voter in Virginia, include in your tweet "#EPVA"

3. These tweet-reports will be monitored at our National Command Center. Our teams on the ground will confirm the reports and work to resolve any issue. We may need to follow up with you for more information.

4. Remember to add #EP2010 to all tweets associated with Election Protection. We'll use this hashtag (#) to monitor overall engagement.

Example Tweet: @866ourvote Long line est. wait of 2hrs. Some leaving after seeing the line #22205 precinct4 #EPVA #EP2010

We will be re-tweeting some of the reports from our 866ourvote Twitter account. Begin your tweet with "@866ourvote" to send it right to us.
