I already voted as we have vote centers, how can I get the badge?

see above! you can unlock via a shout!

so what do i do if i check in and don’t get the badge?

What about absentee voting from overseas?

Kudos! Kudos! Kudos! this is absolutely positively fraking incredible. Will the demographic foot traffic be displayed in real time?

What about early voters?

on Tuesday?

Should really also add the ability to add a Tag to the venue to specify that its a voting place so you don’t have to shout it but I guess shouting it will work.

Thank you foursquare for allowing those of us in Washington and Oregon (all mail-in vote states) to get this badge too!

This is great! Fingers crossed it works for me as I did my overseas postal vote. I suspect even with the shout it will say I am to far away and won’t count (being in Europe and all).

What if someone voted via absentee ballot due to vacations outside the US? Can they still check in on election day?

Ditto? Absentee ballot??

Hey, You should release this for Brazil as well. Sunday is election day in here!

Best thing since, “Rock the Vote!”

Next Sunday, October 31th, will happen the second round of presidential elections in Brazil. Could you extend this badge for our country too, hum?

Neat idea, especially if it encourages people to vote, but since checking in at the farmers market didn’t net a badge, I’m skeptical of this working any better.

Aw I wish you guys had done this for the UK election a while back! It’s a really cool idea

This is awesome! Still waiting on that World Series badge GO GIANTS!!!!

How do Canadian’s get this badge?

Does anyone know if this badge is modeled after this election’s “I Voted” sticker?

Either by cheating, or comitting voter fraud. Your choice!

Either by cheating, or comitting voter fraud. Your choice!

what about those of us who did early voting, which is nearly 30% of registered voters?

oops, I should have read the other comments first….my question is answered….never mind

iam wanna be majors..how ?

What about those of us who are voting absentee abroad? Why can’t we shout “I voted absentee” and get it? Disappointing.

What if you have voted absentee??

gak ngerti,,

I see, and will you be doing the same in the UK elections?

i can’t see foursquare updated on my FB eventhough i have

I also can’t see foursquare updated on my FB eventhough i have

What a great way to promote voting and help track it!

such a great idea. thanks gang!

Im an expat – voting by mail -How can I get this badge?

wow

Can people not read or something? If you can’t read these simple instructions, I am kind of scared at the thought of you voting!!! “P.S. For those of you voting by mail, simply check in anywhere in the US on Tuesday and shout ‘I Voted’ to unlock the badge. Every vote counts!”

READ THE END OF THE BLOG POST FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION NEEDLESSLY! However if you are outside of the US, sounds like it won’t work.

I don’t think you will be able to if you aren’t in the US. Sounds like you aren’t. Unless Foursquare changes how they’re doing this.

“On election day, simply head out to your local polling station and check in when you vote to unlock the badge.”

So Foursquare will magically know that the place I’m at is a polling place? I have my doubts since I’m in rural northern Minnesota and it’s this tiny little town hall out in the country. The “venue” probably isn’t even on Foursquare yet unless you guys somehow managed to add all the polling places in the US! Well, I guess if it doesn’t work, I’ll shout the “I Voted” thing at a check-in later in the day.

This was a cool idea, thanks guys.

What if you early voted?

Unfortunately, where I live (Washington State, King County, City of Seattle), nearly all voting is via absentee ballot, via postal mail. And my ballot is already in. Thus, no opportunity to pick up this badge.

We have worked hard to get as many polling places into foursquare that we
could find with our partners on this project – and if one does not show up,
you can always add it in. I hope we entered the one closest to you, for
tomorrow, but the most important thing is getting out there to vote!

P.S. For those of you voting by mail, simply check in anywhere in the US on Tuesday and shout ‘I Voted’ to unlock the badge. Every vote counts!

I did! No badge.

[...] venue database. When you check in at one (they’re all called ‘voting location’), you’ll unlock an ‘I Voted’ badge. (And for absentee or mailed votes, you can unlock the badge by checking in somewhere and shouting [...]

I had already added my own polling place during the primaries, but when I checked in this morning no badge resulted. I was able to get it by shouting on my next check-in, but is it supposed to be tagged or categorized a certain way? I’d like to fix it so people checking in the rest of the day don’t have the same problem.

Read the post – just shout today on a check-in and you can get it!

Read the full post – it says that if you shout on any check-in to a US location today you can get the badge.

To get the badge, you have to check into your voting venue, but before you click check in, you have to type #ivoted into the shout box. Than when you hit check in, you should get the badge.

Yes I did!

5 days ago we have the Rigth

So true! Thank you for all the work and for the info.

We didn’t have a primary where I’m at. Good job to you trying to be proactive about it. Weird that Foursquare didn’t designate it as a polling place. Thank you for sharing your experience.

No badge for shouting.

The badge isn’t unlocking or it’s backed up somewhere. I checked in at my polling station, shouted “I voted.” and didn’t get anything unlocked.

I voted, at the standard polling location, no lines at 10:30am, many open voting booths…
will there be a record breaking turnout?

I voted.

#ivoted I voted!

I, too, live in King County. And I checked in at “Voted By Mail” and shouted “I voted!” and didn’t get the badge.

I entered my shout as:
#ivoted
‘I voted’
I voted
and can’t unlock this badge!

I didn’t get my badge. Boo!!

I had to wait for a good ten minutes in a packed house at a little town hall out in the country.

If it’s a designated voting venue, you shouldn’t have even had to shout. I didn’t have to shout because it was a designated voting venue added by Foursquare. I got the badge simply by checking in there, no shout. Which is exactly what the blog post said.

My Mom did this and it worked for her just fine. She typed it as ‘#ivoted’.

My Mom did this in eastern Washington. She just shouted ‘#ivoted’ when she checked into one of her regular venues, and she got the badge. But perhaps the addition of your exclamation point prevented you from getting the badge. Where the blog mentioned it in the “P.S.”, there was no exclamation point.

So many people have made a similar comment! If you can’t read the entire blog post and understand simple instructions, I’m a little leery of you voting!

Well, you were right! My polling place and all the tiny little places all around here were all added as voting locations! You guys rock! Although it would have been cooler if it were in there with the actual town hall name (Frohn Town Hall) rather than just the address. Can’t have it all I guess! Anyway, it was really cool : )

They did add a new “Voting Booth” category under “Home/Work/Other”.

I checked in at my polling place last night, but got no badge. I checked in again, and shouted “I voted,” but still no badge. I tried again this morning, to no avail, but I’m now mayor of Clinton Town Hall.

you got it! check your profile page

just looked on your profile page and you do in fact have the I voted badge!

bcs your check-in was way after polls closed and from over 3000 meters away…

you checked in (but not to an official polling location), then checked in with a shout but that check-in was marked a dupe. checking in today wouldn’t do anything as the badge was for voting day only.

Checked in last night with a “I Voted” shout here in WA and didn’t receive my badge either. Foursquare folks, could you look into this for me? Thx

looks like you checked in at home and didn’t use the right shout. :/

I voted!

terus ae nang kene..sampe ngelu…

When I dropped off my Ballot & checked-in Monday evening, I hadn’t even heard about the “iVoted” Badge … I added it 27 minutes later. Regardless, I didn’t receive a Badge either /

5:47 PM Ballot Dropsite: Public Services Building Government
“Ballot dropped! #vote2010″

6:14 PM Ballot Dropsite: Public Services Building Government
“#iVoted ~!”

I’m very sad that I just now saw this post because I voted and checked in at my polling place and didn’t get the badge. I’m obsessed with getting Foursquare badges! Sad.

glad you love foursquare! I don’t see a polling place check-in on Tuesday (or this week at all) for you. Next time!

I mailed my ballot (WA voter), checked-into 3 locations on Nov. 2nd & shouted “I Voted” but no badge for me The inconsistencies is what kills the fun of 4SQ… notice my sharp decline in usage over the last 2-3 months. Whrrl.com lets you posts pix =]

wwhoops… that’s @ShaSta206

This is way late, and I’d written this off as a lost cause, but since I saw this, I figured I’d ask: I checked in at my polling location on Election Day to drop off my ballot and shouted “I voted!” but didn’t get a badge. Is there any way I could get one retroactively?

you got the badge!

you actually do have the badge!

hey its good !

I saw that last night – thank you!!

okey

Is the I Voted badge still available?  I checked in Tuesday while voting for the Oregon Special Election for congressional district 1, used the #ivoted hashtag, but don’t see the badge.  Is it only active on the first Tuesday following the first monday in November of even years?
