During the two week iVote® voting period for this year’s State Government Election approaching 300,000 SMS were sent by the system. As a proportion of iVote registrations are from electors outside Australia, having a messaging provider with global reach was an important consideration. Due to this success and the reliable infrastructure provided by Retarus, their SMS messaging solution is now being integrated into additional services such as the SmartRoll project as well: This online service is intended to deliver a more up-to-date, accurate and comprehensive roll for upcoming elections by allowing electors to change their address automatically.
