Have you heard... there is an election going on.

As many of you know outside of work I am involved in politics in the UK, in fact I took last week off to work full time on the election campaign, but I am back today as it's time for a blog posting. To keep it topical this week's post is about the elections.

First I recommend that if you are not already registered to vote you use this little site to get registered. Simply visit http://ivote2010.co.uk/ on your mobile, fill in your postcode, and you will get information on how to register to vote, plus some limited info on the local candidates.

This election has seen quite a bit of activity in the mobile space with both the Conservative and Labour launching iPhone apps, you can see more on these here.
