Twitter brings back special labels for profiles of political candidates

Twitter brings back special labels for profiles of political candidates

If you've ever seen a Twitter account and wondered if it belonged to someone who's running for public office, but you didn't feel like reading their bio or Googling them, this is a great week for you.

Twitter announced on Thursday it would start rolling out special candidate labels for "eligible US general election candidates." This is actually the return of a feature Twitter started playing with during the 2018 U.S. congressional midterms. Twitter told us back in December they would be brought back  for candidates who went through a verification process.

And you’ll start to see more of them! Election Labels will appear on a rolling basis as state primary elections continue. But ☝️ they won’t be applied to candidates’ accounts that haven’t completed the verification process, or in races that are still undecided.
