The efficiency, cost and participation in elections to Wolverhampton City Youth Council are to be significantly improved, thanks to e-txt, the award winning bulk SMS software application produced by Dynmark International.(PRWEB) January 22, 2005 -- The efficiency, cost and participation in elections to Wolverhampton City Youth Council are to be significantly improved, thanks to e-txt, the award winning bulk SMS software application produced by Dynmark International.Wolverhampton City Council is encouraging young people in the area to vote for candidates in the City Youth Election via text message. It is hoped that this will increase the number of voters, streamline vote counting, reduce multiple votes and keep costs down in the election planned for April 2005. The system will also be used for electing two candidates to the United Kingdom Youth Parliament.Mr Mel Potter Promotion and Publicity Officer at the councils Youth Division explains, Young voters have previously had the option to vote in person, and in 2003 on-line voting was introduced. But with text messaging you don`t have to be in a particular place at a particular time to vote and you don`t need to have Internet access. Huge numbers of young people already have mobile phones and we hope that by offering the option of voting by text, many more of them will take part.The Council has selected e-txt by Dynmark, a piece of text message management software, to manage the incoming text votes. Mr Potter continues, I found e-txt in a mailing from PC World. I had looked at several other texting solutions and I also had our council marketing team looking for options. Most of the options were much more `managed` than e-txt and all were much more costly. An important feature of e-txt was the fact that the database of mobile numbers is stored and managed on our own computers. We feel this gives us more control and is a better solution when it comes to data protection legislation, especially as we are dealing with young people.Dynmarks e-txt has traditionally been used to send text messages in bulk from a PC to multiple mobile handsets. However, the incoming text management function offers Wolverhampton City Council a facility for sorting and tallying text votes:Because the software works like the Outlook email program it will be possible to automatically sort the incoming texts into separate folders based on who they are voting for. This means we don`t have to physically count them. Also because we can sort the messages by which number they came from we can easily identify attempts at multiple voting.Oscar Jenkins, CEO at Dynmark International comments: I am delighted that e-txt has been selected for the Youth Vote. While we were developing the product we knew it had potential in a variety of markets It is certainly a valuable tool for communicating with the mobile phone generation, whether you are a business marketing a product, or a local authority collating votes. Communication by text is becoming an increasingly accepted means of communication for so many organisations.Wolverhampton City Council is currently publicising details of candidates for the 2005 Youth Election and will shortly be releasing the number for text votes.About Dynmark InternationalDynmark develops PC based SMS software and MMS software.
