 Here's how it works:

1. On Tuesday, November 4, vote as early as possible
2. After you've voted, take a picture of yourself outside the polling place 
3. Share it on the social media of your choice, along with this message:

   Twitter

   #VoteTag I just voted! @tweep1 @tweep2 @tweep3 it's your turn! Vote then tag 3 ppl

   Facebook

   #VoteTag I just voted! Friend1, Friend2, Friend3 it's your turn! Vote, take a pic, & tag 3 more people.

Can we surprise and shock the jaded political class with a record turnout? Here's hoping!

FAQ

Q: What if I voted early or absentee?

A: Then you're ahead of the game! You can tag 3 people as soon as you wake up on November 4.

Q: What do I take a picture of if I voted early or absentee?

A: An envelope, a "V" for victory or voting... Be creative!

Q: What if I don't know 3 people I'm willing to tag?

A: Then just tag one.

Q: Can I tag 20 people?

A: Please don't, that's kind of spammy. Keep it small and personal so people are more likely to respond.

Q: Can I use Instagram/Vine/ello/Google+/Yammer instead of Facebook or Twitter?
A: Sure!

Q: Why do you say to take a picture outside the polling place?
A: In some states, it's illegal to take pictures inside. Better safe than sorry!

Q: What if I can't vote until 6pm or later?

A: You can still tag your friends who live in a later time zone.

Q: What if I'm voting at 6:55pm in Hawaii?

A: Then you have to be "it" until November 2015. Sorry!
