In the last couple of years, the use of social media like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube has increased. Politicians are active in the field as well as on social media to lure voters. To avoid the misuse of social media, candidates had been asked to mention their Facebook and Twitter accounts while filing their nominations, so that these can be monitored.

City Collector Shaila A said, “Since we have got the final list of candidates after the last date of withdrawing candidature, October 1, we will start monitoring Facebook and Twitter accounts.” She added, “Our staff will randomly monitor accounts of candidates and complaints from the people will also help us find misuse of these media.”
