Find where to vote via text message!

Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci has long been a proponent of getting eligible citizens out to vote. In the 2006 election, 18-29 year olds represented only 13% of all votes cast. This is a steady increase from previous years, but more of America’s youth need to get their voices heard. In an effort to increase voter turnout, David Carlucci is making the voting process easier via a type of technology used daily. Now, finding out your polling location is as easy as using your cell phone to text a message. The same text-messaging service on your mobile phone that you use to send messages to friends like, “Where r u?,” can simply be used to help you ROCK THE VOTE! Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci is asking those who do not know where to vote to get out their cell phones and just text the keyword ‘pollingplace’ to 41411 from any cell phone. You’ll get a message back where all you have to do is type in your address, and then you will be told were your polling location is. Voting is not just a right, but a privilege, a privilege that Americans can’t take for granted. For further information contact David Carlucci at (845) 639-2010 or visit www.clarkstownclerk.com.
