District uses Twitter to keep voters informed

The District of Columbia's government is using Twitter to keep voters informed about lines at polling places and other electoral issues. The D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics has established a Twitter account that lets voters know the current wait time at its various polling places, along with information on ballot issues and informal tallies of the number of early voters. The account also directs followers to the agency's website, where they can find full lists of candidates and other critical information.
