Research in this country and abroad has demonstrated that active campaigning within a marginal constituency can make the difference between a candidate winning or losing. Vote-OK proved this in the 2010 General Election.

Vote-OK identifies candidates who understand rural issues to support in marginal constituencies. Rather than just hoping that they get elected - we go out and try to ensure that they do...

There are a number of different things you can do which can be surprisingly rewarding:

• Join your local Vote-OK network
• Deliver leaflets
• Stuff envelopes
• Put up posters
• Group telecanvas from the comfort of your own home
• Reward yourself and friends with a drink in the pub afterwards

What you do is up to you. Helping secure the future of your countryside by getting involved with Vote-OK is easy, effective and it can even be fun - but most of all, it will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing your best to ensure that all that you love and have enjoyed about the countryside will still be there for future generations to appreciate.
