Yes, I can help out for an hour or so on August 21, tell me more!
We’ll be handing out a simple, no-nonsense issue scorecard, showing where the parties stand on issues like healthcare, education, human rights and reducing carbon pollution.
The 2007 election put GetUp on the political map – and it was the 8,000 GetUp volunteers on polling booths that made everyone realise what an effective political force we can be. We still hear from politicians who were astounded to see more GetUp volunteers at the booth than the political parties had themselves!
This is not just about voters – and it’s not just about election day. We need politicians of all stripes to know that when it counts, they’ll be rewarded for their good policies and held to account when they fall short.
Yes, I can help out for an hour or so on August 21!
We don’t know who will be elected this year, but one thing is for sure: it will be close. In 2007 many key seats were decided by just a few hundreds votes. Will you make the difference? Sign up to join hundreds of GetUp members on the polling booths in your electorate today.
Maybe you’re not the kind of person who usually volunteers for these things. But if you’re going to do one more thing to change the election, we think it should be this. You only get one vote on polling day, but together with other local GetUp members, you can influence hundreds.
Yes, I want to be part of this on Election Day, next Saturday
See you there,
Simon and the team at GetUp
