You Can Make a Difference!
This is the last week of the campaign and we need your help to ensure a victory on May 12th!
Connecting with your neighbours and spreading the word in your community will increase our vote. We know that when voters are informed about the options, they are 50% more likely to support BC-STV and are 50% more likely to vote!
Below is a short list of things you can do in your neighbourhood to help ensure a victory for electoral reform.
We'll win this campaign on May 12 because of people like you. Thank you!
Step one: Join the team!
Everyone in our Volunteer Database will receive important updates from the campaign and from their Regional Coordinator. Sign up here.
Step two: Know your stuff!
Before you talk to your neighbours it's important that you are familiar with our key messages! You don't need to become an expert on voting reform, but you should be able to answer basic questions and explain why voters should choose BC-STV.
You'll be our ambassador in your community. Here are a few documents to help you explain the benefits of electoral reform and of BC-STV.

Step three: Spread the word!
Handing out information to your neighbours is easy, fun and will boost support for BC-STV in your community! You can talk to people at the doorstep, or you can just get some exercise by 'dropping' materials. Here's how you can participate:
• You can download our simple 2-sided PDF flyer, make copies, and deliver them to you neighbours. We have over 3,000 volunteers in this campaign. If each person makes 100 copies of this, we can reach 300,000 voters!

Waving Wednesdays!
Each Wednesday, all across BC, supporters are taking to streets in small groups and waving signs during rush hour traffic to increase visibility of our campaign (see photo below). You can organise your own gatherine, make your own sign, or you can contact your local Regional Coordinator and see if they already have a plan that you can join. Be safe near traffic, and have fun (Send us your photos! Send to dave@stv.ca)
