Facebook.com has joined the registration trend.
The social-networking site joined up with non-partisan political organization Rock the Vote yesterday to begin offering a voter registration page through its Web site.
Facebook's move comes just a week after its competitor, MySpace.com, established its own voter-registration service on its site in conjunction with another non-partisan political organization, Declare Yourself.
On both sites, users can receive registration forms and invite their friends to register as well.
"Generation Y is increasingly politically active and on track to be nearly a third of the electorate by 2015," Rock the Vote political director Hans Riemer said in a statement. "Taking peer-to-peer contact online can have major implications on the engagement of this Internet generation and on the face of the electorate. We're excited to help Facebook users 'rock the vote' in 2006."
This marks Facebook's second foray into the political arena. Last month, the site created an election network in which users can identify candidates and issues that they support.
In Pennsylvania, voter registration ends Oct. 10.
