Dear [%full_name | Default Value%],
This week we need you to help us collect the details of candidates standing for 5,593 English and Welsh council seats (plus 7 English Mayors), to be elected on 5 May!
Millions of people use WhoCanIVoteFor.co.uk to find the details of their candidates in the run up to the local elections.
All of this data relies on the work of volunteer contributors, like you, who collect candidate lists, photograph election leaflets, and spread the word.
Candidate nomination papers for England and Wales are published later this afternoon. That means we need you to help us extract that information from PDFs so we can make it available to voters, charities, campaigners, journalists, researchers and many others.
Head over to the candidate database any time today to lend a hand entering candidate information. Simply create an account and use the ‘enter data’ button which will be displayed on the front page to start volunteering. The work is straightforward, as most of the heavy lifting is done by automation. Don't worry if you can't help out today, as the process usually carries on into the weekend.
Want to take part? Join our Slack to keep to-to-date with our progress.
All the best,
The Democracy Club Team
P.S. - Don't forget to register to vote! Deadline is 14 April, or 18 April in Scotland. Don't know if you've got an election to vote in? Find out here.
