Reuters has a new a partnership with Facebook to produce live U.S. election
night results for social media users.
During election night, data delivered by Reuters will be
shown on Facebook’s Voting
information Center
and shared in push notifications. This will include live election results
charting real-time outcomes including vote tabulation, exit polls and winner
projections from the National Election Pool (NEP), a consortium of ABC News,
CBS News, CNN, NBC News and Edison Research, says Reuters.
“We’re partnering with Reuters and the National Election
Pool to provide authoritative information about election results,” said
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “We’ll show this in the Voting Information
Center so it’s easily
accessible, and we’ll notify people proactively as results become available.
Importantly, if any candidate or campaign tries to declare victory before the
results are in, we’ll add a label to their post educating that official results
are not yet in and directing people to the official results,” he said.
