As a local government employee involved with elections, texting can help allocate resources more efficiently and ensure that high-priority tasks are managed efficiently. 

TextMyGov is a software solution that enables residents to communicate via text messaging with local government services. Various governments across the country use TextMyGov to offer information, address issues, and send notifications about the elections, including topics like voter registration, polling locations, and ballot details.  Citizens can also receive important messages for voters from their election officials.

Here are three ways government text messaging can improve election support: 

Voters can instantly access information about polling locations, polling updates, and hours of operation through text message notifications. 

Text messaging enables quick responses to registration questions, ensuring voters are prepared for election day. Voters can simply text a keyword to confirm their registration status. 

By texting a keyword, voters can receive clear guidance on the voting process, including details on absentee and early voting options.  

By offering government text messages through TextMyGov, local governments can reduce call volume from residents seeking answers to election-related questions. This may help staff dedicate more time to higher-priority projects. Allowing voters to text for information, report issues, and receive updates creates a more efficient way to communicate which will enhance voter engagement and streamline your office workload.
