How to use Twitter Vote Report

It’s simple. Voters are using Twitter and other texting tools to report on how the vote is really going during this election, and we’re urging everyone to use the common word (or “hashtag” in Twitter lingo) of #votereport as they do so. If that happens, we’ll all be able watch on maps and graphs how the election is going across the country.

Including “#votereport” in your tweet is enough to get your report tracked by Twitter Vote Report. But the more details you can stuff in, the better. So, for example, include in your Twitter post:

#[zip code] to indicate the zip code where you’re voting; ex., “#12345″
L:[address or city] to drill down to your exact location; ex. “L:1600 Pennsylvania Avenue DC”
#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”
#early if you’re voting before November 4th
#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
