TORONTO - Nelly Furtado has launched a Twitter campaign to encourage young people to vote in the upcoming federal election.

The 32-year-old Victoria songstress has tweeted about almost nothing else in the past week.

She's dishing out tips to students who will be voting outside their riding and linking out-of-country citizens to forms on the Elections Canada website.

She's also reminding her nearly two-million followers about non-democratic countries where citizens aren't allowed to vote.

The "Promiscuous" singer is also encouraging her followers to get educated on the issues, and providing other helpful tips.

For instance, she tweeted this morning that those who are working on election day are legally allowed to take three hours away from the office to cast a vote.

She has even changed her Twitter picture to stark black and white text that reads: "Vote May 2nd."
