So, what’s the problem?
We do have a voter turnout problem, and we’re looking to
address that.
How?
Like this
ERIN VICTORIA JACKSON nz.linkedin.com/in/erinvictoriajackson/
Part of my frustration at being captured in that
graph motivated me to run for office.
ERIN VICTORIA JACKSON nz.linkedin.com/in/erinvictoriajackson/
We need to reinterpret how we look at that
graph, and address some of the questions.
ERIN VICTORIA JACKSON nz.linkedin.com/in/erinvictoriajackson/
“How do I actually
vote for these
candidates?”
“Why does it matter if
I don’t vote this time
around?”
“What is actually
going to change if I
vote?”
“How do any of them
even know what’s
important to me?”
“Who are these
people?”
ERIN VICTORIA JACKSON nz.linkedin.com/in/erinvictoriajackson/
• A campaign needs to connect with
people, not just speak at them.
• In saying that, talk MORE. Ask
questions… and then, listen!
• Anything that can be done to put
voting online and make it more
accessible, the better.
• Some eye-catching marketing never
hurt either!
What have I learnt?
