A Twitter Selfie Contest for those who voted in Elections 2014

The last leg of the elections 2014 will end today, with it begin the wait for the new government.  This election is unprecedented in many ways and will go in history as:

The largest election in the history of humanity where more than 80 crore (800 million) people were eligible to vote, millions of them for the first time.

From a participation point of view it has been phenomenal, with more than 70% voter turnout in many places. It lasted more than a month with thousands of government employees on election duty, and the world watching India and Indians as they chose the next government to serve ( note serve not rule, I hope my words come true)  the largest democracy in world.

While the political parties campaigned for their candidates, the voters did not disappointed and came out in large numbers. One new trend that we saw in this election was use of social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, both by political parties, candidates and voters. One biggest trend in this election was people sharing their Selfie after voting on Facebook and Twitter.
