The Associated Press:

Between photo galleries of college friends and fan clubs such as “Kid Rock for President,” visitors to a popular Web site can now register to vote.

Facebook, the social networking Web site with 9.5 million users, now features a Rock the Vote page to target potential voters. The Facebook site ranks No. 7 for U.S. Internet traffic and its users are largely college-aged.

The Los Angeles-based nonprofit and nonpartisan group registered 1.4 million voters in 2004, 1.2 million of them online. Riemer said 80 percent of them went to the polls in 2004.

Facebook is an ideal venue to contact potential young voters.
