A round-up of how to register to vote on social media

National Voter Registration Day is Tuesday. Google doodle celebrated the occasion on Monday, following the lead of Facebook and Snapchat and urging its users to vote. Now Instagram, Uber, and Twitter are joining in on the movement.

Instagram

Starting Tuesday, Instagram will send its users who are 18 and older a message (via sponsored post) urging them to vote. There will be a link in the caption that reads "Learn More" that will redirect users to vote.usa.gov, where they can learn more about how to register. This will go on through Sept. 30.

“We love seeing the election conversation happening on Instagram. We also look forward to the community using their voice on the biggest platform -- Election Day -- and it starts with registering to vote,” said John Tass-Parker, politics and government outreach manager at Instagram.

Uber

Uber will be doing practically the same. Uber users will be sent an e-mail Tuesday with google's "how to vote" tool. Google Doodle redirected to this dropdown tool on Monday, it is a neatly organized source of information for registration deadlines, requirements, and instructions for each state.

Twitter

Twitter, in partnership with Rock the Vote, will take it a step further. Thanks to a collaboration with Pew's Voting Information Project and Google's Information Civic API, "when a someone sends a private, Direct Message to Twitter’s @Gov account with their five-digit zip code, that person will receive an automatic Direct Message response including their state’s voter registration deadline and a personalized link to get registered... the @Gov account [will also be used] to answer additional questions from voters, like polling place location and ballot information."

Facebook and Snapchat

Previously, Facebook offered a "Register Now" button that also redirected its users to vote.usa.gov, and allowed users to share that they registered. Snapchat paired with TurboVote, to give its users registration information via celebrity-sponsored ads.

Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories is also taking a cue from Snapchat by using short videos to inspire voters. An Instagram representative said, "Instagram Stories will be integrated into CBS News’ live coverage of the debates -- a first for broadcast news -- spotlighting the voice and perspective of Millennials."

CNN Politics

CNN Politics is getting in on the Instagram action with the hashtag #MyVote, which is also being used on Facebook to "[capture] what moves and motivates young voters," said the representative from Instagram.

So now none of us have an excuse.
