Whether you're following the candidates on Twitter or unfriending outspoken advocates on Facebook, the 2012 election has infiltrated our digital lives.
Social media has not only revolutionized campaigning but also engaged voters in dialogue unlike ever before. Citizens are sparking online conversations around the issues that affect them most, inevitably informing their friends and followers about what's at stake. A new era in civic participation has begun.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, we want you to share the vote. Show your friends you voted in the 2012 U.S. election by adding Mashable's Share the Vote badge to your profile picture. Connect with your Facebook or Twitter account in the Twibbon widget above and the non-partisan badge will appear on your avatar, spreading the message of civic engagement online.
