There are many ways to get involved, no matter how much or how little time   you have to spare and there is something for everyone to do - no matter your  age or capabilities. 

How you can help...

Prior to Election Day:

• Leafleting - surprisingly satisfying, keeps you fit, and fun if well-  organised with small groups (car loads) who can cover a particular area and meet up afterwards
• Envelope stuffing - often a local campaign will require leaflets to be enveloped and individually addressed to householders, so envelopes will need to be stuffed, sorted and batched.  Ideal for those less able to tramp the streets
•  Poster Sites - please identify high visibility sites where mega banners can be erected. Get teams together who are able to carry out the work

• Door-to-door canvassing - going out with the candidate or other party big-wigs and persuading the electorate why it is time for a change

• Telephone canvassing - an easy way to help the campaign by asking simple questions (full guidance and instructions will be given) and hopefully getting pledges from supporters to vote

Election Day 

The first 72 Hours after the Election is called - the most important time to deliver the candidates message

Telling - you will be positioned outside a Polling Station (for an hour or two) and noting those who have voted, so that those who have 'pledged' but not voted can be reminded to do so

Telephoning - reminding those who have 'pledged' to vote, but have not done so

Driving - providing your car to drive anyone to the Polling Station if required

Voting by post

Voting by post is an easy and convenient way of voting if you are unable to get to the polling station due to illness, college, work or holiday commitments.

Anyone aged 18 or over who is on the electoral register can apply for a postal vote. A postal vote can be sent to your home address or to any other address that you give. Postal votes can be sent overseas, but you need to consider whether there will be enough time to receive and return your ballot paper by Election Day.For additional information on voting by post please click here.

To apply for a postal vote please click here. You need to print off the form and sign it personally because the electoral registration office needs a copy of your signature for voting security reasons.
