"Election Alarm Clockis an automated email and SMS reminder service designed to ensure citizens are reminded of key dates in the election calendar. People sign up to the service at www.electionalarmclock.com, and are then sent a series of regular emails and text messages reminding them of the deadlines for electoral registration, postal vote registration and election day. The pilot service will operate from March until May 2006."
