Digital Assistants Expand Online Services to
More Utahns
Utah has launched a new service to help educate Utah voters on
Amazon Echo devices. The Utah Ballot Information Alexa Skill
enables Utahns to quickly learn about candidates, amendments,
questions, and propositions. Simply say, “Alexa, tell me about
question one,” and Alexa will read information about the ballot
item.
“It is so important that residents educate themselves about the
options available to them during this election season," said
Spencer Cox, Utah Lieutenant Governor. "This service is a great way
to easily learn more about ballot initiatives.”
Residents can enable the skill on any Echo device. Just tell
Alexa to, “Enable Utah Ballot Information.” The Amazon Echo Alexa
skill will then help you learn more about the issues that interest
voters.
“Utah leads the country by providing useful, innovative online
services for Utah residents,” said Mike Hussey, Utah Chief
Information Officer. “Beyond the services we provide at Utah.Gov,
audio services like the Alexa assistant will help individuals like
the visually impaired.”
