RE: [election-services] Twitter
I’d be interested to hear of
views on this as at least one local election official here in UK has used
Twitter to publish results which I thought was very risky.

OK guys, I have done a very basic posting of an EML 510 to Twitter.
See http://boynings.co.uk/emltwitter/.
Once you have uploaded a results file (note the documentation of fields that
are used – you can’t just upload any old 510), you can see the result on
Twitter. The user is emlelections. You can also search by the ContestId
attribute in your file preceded by the “#” character.

 

Have a go, and let me know how you get on.

 

Paul
