MySpace Launches Voter Registration Drive


internetandpolitics.jpgSocial networking giant MySpace is putting its vast, youth-oriented reach to good use: the News Corp.-owned service has launched a voter registration drive. Working with non-partisan group Declare Yourself, MySpace is running ads on its site to get its users (80% of whom are voting age, according to the company) to print out a voter registration form, fill it out and send it to local voter registration authorities.

In addition to setting up a special section of MySpace for this process, the service is also providing tools that promote the campaign, such as an “I Registered To Vote On MySpace” badge that members can post on their pages.
