Calling all local Green Party members...

We need you for the County Council Polling Day on Thursday May 7th!


Polling day work is vital for making sure our votes make it inside the ballot boxes.

Many people need a push to vote or a friendly reminder that today is the day.

There are two key roles for the day, so please choose which one you are interested in.


Knocking up

The friendliest canvassing day around. Knocking up "the vote" is what we call knocking on voters door who are likely to vote Green (the reason we do all that canvassing) and trying to make contact with them during the day to get them to a polling station!

You will have a short script that essentially reminds people to vote if they have not done so already. This work is done in shifts and makes a real difference. The goal is to get every Green voter to a station by the end of the day.

Polling Station attendee

Believe it or not but not everyone is completely set on who to vote for, even as they walk through the doors of the polling station. A friendly smart Green face saying "hello" can make the small difference that people need!

Attendees are not allowed to try and influence voters, so you will not be asking who they are voting for or trying to sway people. The important thing is you are representing the candidate and the local party - so dressing smart and always being polite.


After you sign up we will contact you before the day to give you more information. The most important thing is having volunteers available. Thank you!
