Facebook Groups are getting easier for political parties to manage
Facebook is rolling out a handy new feature for groups which lets you automatically prompt would-be group members with some questions first.
This is particularly helpful for political parties running members-only groups as it a great way of prompting people who wish to join a group to provide some identifying information which you can check.
Here’s an example screenshot:
Another Facebook feature to remember at election time, in particular, is the Impressum – very useful for meeting imprint requirements.
Instructions for how to do this are at https://www.facebook.com/help/200755420421098?helpref=search&sr=1&query=pending%20members%20questions
At the end it says “Note: This feature isn’t available to everyone yet”
