The idea is to use our expertise in PR elections to support voter registration and turnout efforts; specifically by being able to explain how the system works, familiarise people with the ballot paper; encourage types of campaigning which maximise the benefits of the system; and - importantly - to give answers to the questions: "why should I vote? and "will my vote count?"

We will working with a variety of campaign groups and community organisations who want to encourage their members / supporters to get involved in the election and vote.  If you would like to receive such advice or resources, or want someone to come to talk to you about the elections, do .

The first public resources we produced were for the Unite Against Fascism Annual Conference on 21 February. Our handout is available below.  While some is specific to the event, most of the messages are applicable to a wider audience.
