Restore Equality 2010, the campaign working to repeal California Proposition 8 via the ballot box this year, announced today that it is now collecting digital signatures for its November 2010 ballot effort. Using an application developed by Verafirma, a Silicon Valley technology company, California voters will now be able to sign the petition via an iPhone or iPod Touch, joining the hundreds of thousands of Californians who have already signed paper ballots. Registered California voters can access the digital signature tool and instructional video at http://restoreequality2010.com/ipod.htm.

“California is known for being a state that leads change,” said Sean Bohac, Chair of the Restore Equality 2010 Statewide Advisory Panel. “Our team looks forward to using this revolutionary technology to augment our grassroots efforts and change the way campaigns are run.”

With Verafirma’s e-sign tool, Restore Equality 2010 joins the efforts of the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative in the use of digital signature gathering tools this year. With an iPhone or iPod Touch, voters can access the Verafirma tool and use their finger to sign the official petition to repeal Proposition 8. An electronic copy is sent to the signer and Restore Equality 2010, who will then file it alongside the handwritten petitions.
