Libya implements world's first mobile voter registration system

In effort to encourage Libyans to vote, the government employed New York based social enterprise Reboot to develop and implement the world's first mobile voter registration system. 

Anyone can use the system, with any spec of mobile phone, which requires them to simply send a text message with their national ID and 5 digit electoral centre number into the Higher National Elections Commission. The Commission then replies with confirmation of registration, with the voter able to change their electoral system by sending in new details of where they would like to cast their ballot.

Reboot's Panthea Lee explains the system here, on Al Jazeera's The Stream:

The innovative tool is an attempt by the government to encourage voters to take part in the elections, although with only 1.5 million registered out of 3.4 million eligible there are fears of a low turnout.
