The sometime Green Party canvass.

 

How to help a green politician win the vote.

 

• The call: Stay in touch with the candidate, know their phone number.
• The transport: try to use a bicycle or bus.
• The pamphlet: use the party approved pamphlet, use a pamphlet with the party policy written clearly.
• The map: A riding map or simple street map is a good help to plan the canvass.
• The plan: Chose to cover about a two sided block every half hour.
• The house numbers: Major parties use these from the list of electors to check off voters.
• The door: Present one expresssion as the opening statement at each door the same. Then see where the resident wants this to go, be prepared with some dialog to carry on a bit. Also be prepared for a slammed door in the face.
• The spoken word policy: If the resident is friendly you can mention four or five policy items rather quickly. Elaborate the policy into a local context and be prepared to listen to the resident's issues.
• The vote: Count the vote up as a precent of the total vote for the riding. 700 votes is good, 300 votes is normal, 1,500 votes is near perfect. But these really mean 2%, 1% and 4% in a typical Canadian riding Federal or Provincial - not sure for other countries.
• The benefits: Understanding this complex planet: hopefully listening to the residents and presenting green policy will also improve your own understanding of the planet.
