How to use Twitter for latest information on Assembly Elections 2022

Earlier this month, Twitter announced a few initiatives which will help its users stay informed about the upcoming state elections. The social media platform has collaborated with the Election Commission of India and Chief Electoral Officers to provide some of these features.
