Also, could you get it to request permission to push updates (I know android can let websites do this) so you can push a reminder to vote on the day?
We're definitely thinking of this, and how to achieve it.
It's amusing to think of how to send potentially hundreds of thousands of emails within a short time-frame, and to NOT look like a spammer.

In short, authenticate correctly and send from an IP that already sends that volume. One of the key things that'll get your send bulked is a sudden increase in volume, even if you authenticate fully.

maybe allow people to choose when they want their reminders to be? I would prefer to have a reminder the day before to ensure I build time into my day the next day. (not that I will forget to vote in any way barring an accident.)

For the next step, it would be helpful to have the details of where polling stations are, based on a postcode search. This data won't be out yet (polling places won't have been confirmed) and I don't know how public it will be when it is, but if something along those line could be tied into this, that would be fantastic.
Getting people to the right polling station is half of the battle sometimes.
