FlashVote Surveys Are Coming—Official City Partnership, Not Spam

ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA – Beginning Monday, September 1, 2025, selected Arroyo Grande residents may receive text messages from the public survey research platform FlashVote.

The City of Arroyo Grande is working with FlashVote to engage the community and gather valuable input from residents to inform decisions. We encourage residents to sign up if they receive a text message from FlashVote.

Residents can also sign up here now: https://www.flashvote.com/arroyogrande or call 775-235-2240 to participate by phone or text only.

Sign up takes less than one minute and the input is always kept anonymous. Personal or demographic information collected by FlashVote is never shared with the City or anyone else. When residents sign up, they can determine how surveys are received – whether by email, text or phone call. They will receive a notification whenever there is a new survey, and they will have 48 hours to participate before voting closes. Once a survey is closed, everyone who participated will automatically receive a summary of the overall results and be able to see how their responses compare to the group.

"We’re very excited to use the input collected in these surveys to inform decision making at the City in ways that serve our residents better” said City Manager, Matt Downing.

Text messages will be sent starting Monday, September 1, 2025, and residents are encouraged to sign up to participate in the first survey – coming in the next few weeks!
