This January 23rd is Canadas federal election day and as if the media is not fast enough with this sort of thing, mobile-savy Canadians will be able to get up-to-the-minute local real time results via sms/text messaging. The service is provided by CTV.ca and Globeand mail.com.

The innovative joint initiative between CTV and The Globe and Mail will be available, at no additional cost, to any Canadian mobile phone subscriber.

More on it here in my Personal Democracy Forum Post where I am the Mobile Technology and Politics Correspondent.
