Finally, A 2015 Political Donation I am happy to make: Voter Turnout

Voter Turn out will be key to this election. Over 500k votes are potentially suppressed this year via the Fair Elections ID Laws.

Voter turnout is key!

I cannot support any one party this year beyond the strategic ABC vote I will take on Oct 19.

I did donate to this cause: http://canadians.org/Marika-Nicolov

Please check it out. This one, the CoC Ballot Box Tool Box seems to be aimed at students.

Does anyone know who else is doing voter turn out in key swing ridings?

There are other demographic groups beyond students who we should be targetting.

For example the new North Burnaby-Seymour: it could go NDP if voter turnout in the south half of the riding gets boosted. North Vancouver could go Liberal if the younger voter turnout increases. Of course either riding could go Green, Liberal or NDP if big swings start to happen in this long weird campaign-in-a-cup. Voter turnout is “non-partisan” by definition but will be ABC in result so any Party could benefit.

I am no expert on this (hence looking for someone doing it now) ….
This includes registering people and securing their voting ID - sometimes it involves getting an official letter addressed to them.

Cheers
