SMS voting in Switzerland

From swissinfo via textually.org:

"The first ever SMS vote is taking place in Switzerland with the residents of Bülach using mobile phone text messages to decide on speed restrictions in the town, reports Swiss Info.

The Bülach vote will be followed by similar ballots in two other communities also in canton Zurich, after which the federal authorities will decide whether to roll out text voting throughout the country."


Makes me just a little proud to be Swiss... :-)
