I had no idea this was happening until I heard it on NPR yesterday morning, AFTER it was too late to vote. How could this be as I'm on Facebook several times a day?

Leslie Shiers:

The only reason I knew the vote was happening, and why, was because of the New York magazine article that ran a few weeks ago. I forgot all about it until a posting at the top of the FB homepage caught my eye. Normally I gloss over those, so it's no wonder turnout was low. I tried to pass the word along to friends via my status, but the time limit was almost up. More promotion or a louder announcement of the vote and issues behind it would have probably resulted in better turnout. I'm confident the FB community would actively vote if there were more awareness.

Scott Bell:

If you wanted good turnout it would have been nice to be reminded a bit more. We may be spoiled by the press reminding us about elections so that we cannot help but remember to plan for it. Two suggestions: 1) Allow for an alarm to be set to remind us to vote -- hopefully with an email; 2) Give us an option to email the T/C for offline reading. I rarely have tons of time when online -- just enough to update a status and 'like' someone else's FB actions.
