Canvassing your neighbourhood.

As every politician knows, one of the most effective ways to win elections is to identify your supporters and then ensure your voters get to the voting station.

We too, hope to reach out to all British Columbians, including those who did not vote in the last referendum. We want to ensure that those who support electoral fairness and want to see changes occur cast their ballot on May 12th.

If you want to get involved, sign up as a volunteer and click "yes" on the "canvassing" option, or on "pamphletting".

If you are interested in helping our campaign on the ground, here are three ways to canvass:

1. Going Door to Door or Door Canvassing (knocking on people's door to informing them, signing them up as supporter or just let them know that the referendum is happening.)

Door canvassing is easy, fun and can be very rewarding. Many people are
happy to get to know their neighbours and will want to talk for 2-5
minutes about the issues.

2. Literature Dropping (leaving brochures at houses in their mail boxes or by doors.)

This is the fastest way of canvassing but it does not create a human connection with the voters. This can be ideal if you want some exercise and run the route, don't feel comfortable talking to strangers, or if you are nearing the end of the campaign and have a large surplus of materials.

3. Street Canvassing or "Main Streeting" (standing at a busy corner or grocery store and handing out brochures.)

Just like door canvassing, it's important to immediately identify
yourself and the cause you are working for. Try different "lines" on people and see what works for the demographic you are talking to.

If you are not comfortable signing up on line, you can send an email to the central canvassing coordinator or contact your local regional organizer.
