Facebook rolled out a new feature today that lets users endorse presidential candidates.

Only Pages in the “politician,” “political candidate,” or “government official” category are eligible to receive endorsements.

To do so, you simply visit their Facebook page, click the Endorsement tab, select Endorse, and then post your endorsement on the social network. You can add your own message, and/or also choose who you want to see the post.

 

Before posting, check your privacy settings because if you make your post publicly available, it could appear on the candidate’s Page, depending on whether it meets the Page administrator’s standards.

Facebook also added an "issues" tab to the pages of the candidates. When clicked, a list of topics appears that can be selected. Each topic features selected quotes and videos addressing each issue.

In an email, a Facebook spokesperson said:

This feature allows anyone on Facebook to show their support for a candidate by writing and sharing an 'endorsement' explaining why they support them. This is a good way for people to voice their support for a candidate - if they so choose - and learn more about where their friends and family stand. The post will appear on the candidate's page under the Endorsements tab and as a News Feed post with the privacy settings specified by each person. Public endorsements appear on a candidate’s page if they choose to list them.
