Add voting information to the list of
government efficienciesGov2Go 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 11 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.
