R U Registered 2 Vote?
From 160characters.org:
"A billboard campaign has launched in San Francisco to get young Chinese americans to register to vote using SMS that hopes to overcome the largest barrier to youth voting which is just getting registered.
The campaign aims to register voters in San Francisco using Mobile Voter's text messaging service in association with the Chinese American Voter Education Committee (CAVEC).
By texting a keyword such as 'ivote' to 80837, voters will be able to request registration forms to be sent to them and instructions as well as voting reminders prior to upcoming elections. mobile voter board
'As the first of its kind in the U.S., this campaign is an experiment' said Ben Rigby from MobileVoter. 'We'll be evaluating the effectiveness of different outreach methods including billboards, taxi-top, and magazine ads.'"
