Enriched by its experience in India's general elections, the Facebook now plans to roll out the "I'm a Voter" megaphone this year. This includes European Parliament (May 22-25), Colombia (May 25), South Korea (June 4), Indonesia (July 9), Sweden (September 14), Scotland (September 18), New Zealand (September 20), Brazil (October 5) and the United States (November 4).
"We estimate conservatively that nearly 400 million people around the world will see the megaphone this year. This includes India, where over 31 million people saw the megaphone during the Lok Sabha elections," Stone said.
