15. Frequently Asked Questions
Can my campaign be Social Media friendly?
Several of you have asked whether it is appropriate to have a Facebook page or other social media site to announce your Regional Officer Campaign. The internet in general makes it difficult for the Region to track all pre-Convention campaigning by candidates and/or their supporters, especially campaigning done via social networking sites, s, etc.

16. Frequently Asked Questions
Can my campaign be Social Media friendly? (cont.)
So, while having a website or Facebook page about your campaign will NOT disqualify you as a candidate, please be careful that you’re communicating with those whom you already know and NOT sending mass or distributing other mass communications. This can, and is often seen, negatively by many constituents who think that pre-Convention campaigning-- of any-- sort is against the rules.
