Vote for Alberta's Election Hashtag!

The time has come, Nation. Use the Comments area of this post to make your arguments, and try to convince your fellow Web Denizens of the merits of your preferred hashtag.

The Poll is on the right-hand side of your screen. Choose wisely.

Voting closes the morning of Monday, Feb. 20th. A winner will be announced at that time.

Bigger question is: how will you let the disengaged, nonvoter know the hashtag? How will we 'drive' them there? How do we make the care?

Carla said...

correction: how do we make THEM care?

danged fingers have a mind of their own...

Carla: Only thing we can do is spread the word. As for making them care: That's the job of the candidates.

you're behind the times dude|
the discussion that happened on twitter a couple weeks ago led to consensus for #abvote

Enlightened Savage said...

James: I've seen at least a half dozen hashtags in use. Whatever consensus was reched, there are hundreds of twitter users and candidates who seem to have not gotten the memo.

Hopefully, this helps.

I agree with you Carla. So I am putting a social experiment to the test. I just published a blog on community engagement including voting. I believe in changing the world, one person at a time. I am hoping my blog spreads, engagement spreads, and community activism spreads, as all will lead to more voters and hopefully informed voters. Check it out at eyeonCalgary.wordpress.com

#ABVote gets #MyVote.

@Carla add #yyc or #yeg (or other hyper local community tags) to the tweet. Albertans on twitter will pick it. #FreeBeer helps as well...
