GOV2GO HELPS ARKANSANS GET READY TO VOTE
Add voting information to the list of government efficiencies
Gov2Go
delivers in one convenient, citizen-centric access point
Just over a year ago, Arkansas became the first state in the nation to
transform government by breaking down agency silos and delivering
citizen-centric government interactions through a single digital
personal assistant, Gov2Go.
Today, more than 180,000 Arkansans have subscribed to Gov2Go to receive
personalized, timely, and relevant notifications about their
interactions with state government. Now Arkansans can add voter
information to the list of notifications their digital personal
assistant, Gov2Go, can provide.
The Arkansas Secretary of State’s office, in partnership with the Information
Network of Arkansas (INA), today released a new way for Arkansans to
keep up with key dates and information for the November general
election. By downloading Gov2Go, citizens can receive voting information
personalized to their district through the digital personal assistant
platform.
Gov2Go connects users to their voter registration record in the
Secretary of State’s Voter View database and makes it easy for Arkansans
to:
-
View the voter registration deadline and information about registering
to vote
-
Download a voter registration application
-
Request a voter registration application by mail
-
View early voting and general election dates and times
-
Get helpful email reminders for early voting and Election Day
-
Find out who’s running and what issues are on their ballot
-
See where to vote on Election Day
September is National Voter Registration Month and the perfect time to
give Arkansans another convenient way to access voter registration forms
and personalized information about where to vote on Election Day.
“The need for public information and education on voter registration is
extremely critical as Arkansas voters prepare to take part in the
November general election,” Arkansas Secretary of State and INA Board
Chair Mark Martin said. “October 10 is the deadline to register to vote
in November. We are pleased to offer Gov2Go as another resource to give
Arkansans convenient digital access to voter registration forms, and
reminders about early voting and the general election. We are hopeful
that Gov2Go will increase awareness about state requirements and
deadlines for voting, and encourage more qualified Arkansas voters to
participate in the election.”
In addition to the voter registration deadline and general election
dates, Gov2Go provides personalized and timely information such as
property assessment and tax payments, car tag renewals and business
franchise tax, and sends users personalized reminders about these
government services.
Every Arkansan can receive their own personalized government
notifications through Gov2Go by visiting GetGov2Go.com
to download the iOS and Android apps or entering an email address.
