Hey Twitter voters, find a time machine.
Twitter launched additional features for its #BeAVoter election campaign on Thursday. But even the best laid plans don’t always go off without a hitch.
One of the new features was a countdown to the election, along with a link to resources on where to vote.
But the countdown feature caused a bit of hilarious confusion. Some Twitter users reported that Twitter was reminding them to vote — in negative 17,819 days.
Twitter said that the wonky countdown came from a bug that was active for less than 5 minutes after the launch of the new features. It added that any user who received the time-warping message will be shown an accurate one.
But apparently 5 minutes was plenty of time for the message to spread among Twitter’s 300 million active users.
Oh, and just a reminder: election day in the U.S. is Tuesday, Nov. 6. You might want to check out Twitter’s #BeAVoter campaign, and, ya know, cast that ballot.
