Facebook plans to roll out an international version of its "I'm a Voter" button, which was first introduced to American citizens during the November 2012 presidential election.

According to Reuters, the social media giant will provide local versions of the feature to countries around the world ahead of national elections.

Already put to the test during India's recent vote for prime minister, the function attracted more than 4 million local users who clicked the "I'm a Voter" button during the country's election.

Serving as a digital version of the "I Voted" sticker handed out at precincts, the online button shares your voter status with family and friends, while keeping your ballot choices secret.

The button, Reuters said, will appear for voters in next week's European Parliament and Colombian elections, then for citizens in South Korea, Indonesia, Sweden, Scotland, New Zealand, and Brazil at various point later in the year.

It will also hit American Facebook pages in November, during the mid-term congressional elections—though it is unlikely to garner a turnout anywhere close to the 9 million people who participated in the presidential vote two years ago.

Still, the social network remains positive about the new feature, expecting almost 400 million people to see "I'm a Voter" messages in their news feed this year—more than one third of the site's 1.1 billion active users, Reuters said.

"There is a real social multiplier effect," Facebook spokesman Andy Stone told the news site. "When people see on Facebook that their friends have voted, they themselves are motivated to vote."

The company did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.
