PROCEDURE FOR SMS VOTING
Please see below the procedure for 2014 Inter Party Election in PTI Denmark.
- On day of voting a SMS will be sent to all mobile phone numbers registered, the message body will contain the details of panels contesting and will ask for a response from the member to choose which panel they wish to elect. The options will be kept simple, the format at this stage is likely to be a 2 digit numerical response:
For example: ???For panel ???name??? lead by Imran Khan reply 58
For panel ???name??? lead by Nawaz Sharif reply 62???
A confirmation text will be sent once vote is cast by member.
- Our system will notify all those numbers that for network reasons did not get a text, we will resend the text and if required will contact those members and give instructions on how to cast vote.
- On Election Day a helpline will be available for members to ring for any issues, the number will be intimated by election commision.
- For those members who are travelling abroad they need to let the Election Commision know of alternative contact method, we will be unable to make changes to the database of held members on the day, so please any issues inform before election date.
- Any family membership has the option to cast as a family or to vote individually. We need to be provided separate numbers if the latter is chosen route. If individual numbers are not provided then the system will allot the same vote choice, for example if the lead family member votes for a panel and there are no mobile phone numbers held for the rest of the family then the same panel choice will be allotted against rest of family membership.
- If member replies with something that is slightly wrong in format for example, in point 1 of this procedure we are looking for response of 58 or 62, if reply is Imran Khan 58 then vote will be still valid against that panel, if reply is not clear we will contact member and ask them to clarify.
Please note we will not accept any request that is to change for panel that has been voted for.
- If any questions please send email to Election Commission PTI Denmark.Election Commision will announce its official email address.
