Labour Unions Elections 2021 Briefing & Phone Bank
With the Mayoral and Assembly elections in London, County, District Councils and Police and Crime Commissioner elections everywhere else across GMB London Region on 6th May, how can we campaign for Labour in a lockdown?
The elections in May 2020 were cancelled due to the first lockdown, so we are now faced with the biggest set of elections, outside of a General Elections, in London and every part of the region on Thursday 6th May. Things could change but despite the fact we are now in the third lockdown of the pandemic, all the indications are that elections will be going ahead.
So what can we do to campaign for Labour?
The first thing is to encourage our members to apply for a postal vote, to ensure they not only vote but that they can do so safely.
You can apply for a postal vote by following the link here:
Contact your local Electoral Registration Office - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The way we campaign has had to change dramatically over the past year, switching from leaflet deliveries and knocking on doors to digital campaigns and telephone canvasing.
So if you would like to get involved and find out how to do it from the safety and comfort of your own home, why not join:
