Facebook VoterTools

The 2008 Presidential Elections took technology by storm.
First, it was YouTube. Now, there’s Facebook.
Facebook added a new application, VoterTools, in which facebook members may register to vote.
Upon adding the application, users will be directed to the StateDemocracy Foundation website (http://www.StateDemocracy.org) where they will be able to register to vote, apply for absentee ballots and find the nearest polling locations.
The user will then be asked some questions that will determine if they are eligible to vote. The applicant’s information will then be entered to an electronic application. There will also be a pdf file that gives the applicant the option to send their application for voter registration and/or absentee ballot by mail.

VoterTools could also be added in other websites aside from Facebook.

To add the application to your page, go to (http://apps.facebook.com/votertools)
