Social networking website Facebook is being used by a Wiltshire council to encourage people to vote.
Swindon Borough Council said the aim was to help make it easier for citizens to find information about the election and to exchange ideas with others.
Facebook has been adopted by many political candidates to showcase their views and engage with voters, especially the young, the council said.
It is hoped the Swindon election group will bring more voters out on 1 May.
