Let us know how you can best help on election day, 2 May 2019. Tasks include:

1. Reminding people to vote:
   • Knocking on the doors of people who said they will vote Green (“knocking up”).
   • Telephoning people who said they would vote green.
2. Helping in a committee room.
3. Giving lifts to voters with mobility difficulties who are otherwise unable to travel their polling station
4. Taking voter numbers at polling stations (“telling”)—many voters don’t make up their minds until they are in the polling booth. A Green rosette and a welcoming face can help persuade them. Key times include 7am-9.30am, and 5pm-8pm.
5. Tallying the votes at the count, so we know where in the county there are more Green voters.

Please tick the ways you can help below, and where you can help, as there are elections in 4 councils this year.

When you have volunteered to help the Oxfordshire Green Party, please tell us something about your skills.

For some tasks, we need specialist skills, hence this long list.

But most tasks anyone can do, given the training we provide.

Everyone who wants to  stand in a council target ward, must complete this questionnaire. If you just want to get your name on the ballot paper so that voters can vote for the Green Party in your ward (a non-target candidate) you do not need to complete this questionnaire. If you want to be a parliamentary candidate for the Green Party in Oxfordshire, download this application form, complete it and return it to <elections@greenoxford.com>.

There are 15 questions in all, the first of which you see below. They cover eligibility, your selection statement, how much time you can contribute and what help you need from the party.

If you have any difficulties completing the questionnaire, email the Oxfordshire Green Party Elections co-ordinator with the same information, and any questions you have.

Help us hold your local Council to account

Oxfordshire Green Party is running campaigns to fight homelessness, save local community facilities, tackle air pollution, ban single-use plastics and generally improve the quality of your local council services by getting more Green councillors elected. Our Green councillors have already got local councils to divest from fossil fuels, improve cycling facilities and require 50% social housing in new developments.

We don't have much money, but we do have thousands of members and supporters in Oxfordshire. Will you join us to help make a difference in your local area? Please sign up below to volunteer in any way you can. 

We are campaigning all year round on local issues and to get more Green councillors elected. If you have just a few hours to spare please do phone Kate Robinson on 07582 903996 to find how you can help, at a time that suits you.
