Agency recognized for use of Gov2Go to deliver
voter, business services
During a special awards ceremony held on July 9, the Office of
the Arkansas Secretary of State was selected to receive the 2017
National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) IDEAS Award,
which recognizes innovation and excellence in state programming.
Arkansas was recognized for its Gov2Go platform, which allows
citizens to receive personalized, timely, and relevant
notifications designed to help streamline their interactions with
government.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the NASS community, and to
see all the great things Secretaries of State are doing to engage
and inform voters,” Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin said.
“We hope to continue expanding Gov2Go as a convenient, personalized
way to help Arkansans do business with government and engage with
the elections process.”
Gov2Go is the nation’s first digital government assistant that
delivers citizen-centric government interactions. More than 375,000
Arkansans have subscribed to Gov2Go to receive useful notifications
to enhance their interactions with state and local government.
Gov2Go learns about its users, keeps tracks of their deadlines—such
as voter registration, property tax payments, car tag renewals and
property assessment—and sends important reminders to their
computers, mobile devices, and Apple watches.
Arkansas Secretary of State partnered with the Information
Network of Arkansas (INA), the state’s official digital government
services provider, to integrate its franchise tax payment system
and Voter View database into Gov2Go, enabling Arkansans to access
business services, voting information personalized to their
district, and other government interactions through a single
platform.
Established in 2011, the NASS IDEAS (Innovation, Dedication,
Excellence & Achievement in Service) Award recognizes
significant state contributions to the mission of NASS, as well as
honors the outstanding programs and achievements of NASS member
offices. Nominations are encouraged in all areas of state
government programming that are overseen or administered by
Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor offices throughout the
U.S.
The NASS Awards Committee reviewed and evaluated submissions and
chose four finalists to give presentations at the NASS summer
conference. NASS membership voted and chose the Arkansas Secretary
of State’s Office as the 2017 winner.
The NASS IDEAS Award marks the tenth award for Gov2Go, including

Excellence in Government Partnership category for the Department of
Finance and Administration. Other accolades include 2017 Digital
