The bare bones of the

CTU election campaign

PSA YOUTH CONFERENCE MAY 2014

We can change politics

There are more than enough registered voters
who do not support the current policies of
National and its support parties they can
change politics in September with their votes.
The gap between the National+ bloc and the
Labour/Green+ bloc is very narrow already
even when you only count those most likely to
vote in September

The story of the 294,000.

The big difference this time

One non-partisan union movement campaign
Main focus is on mobilisation, rather than
advocacy or persuasion
Election runs from 3-20 September
Voters can enrol and advance vote at about
10% of polling places until 19 September
- and can vote in all polling places on Election
Day

Volunteers
All volunteers will be asked to collect and record Voter
Pledges. Volunteers can also:
Help VOTERS make and record their Voting Plan
Organise around the Voting Plan (eg where the VOTER
needs transport or where the plan is a collective plan
at the workplace)
Follow up with VOTERS following their vote
