ORG Election Watch 2007: Registration Pack now online

Posted by Becky in eVoting at March 23rd, 2007

Our guide to registering to become part of ORG’s volunteer Election Watch 2007 team is now online. If you’ve already pledged to devote your day to democracy on May 3, by becoming an accredited election observer in one of the areas where e-voting and e-counting systems are being piloted, then Jason Kitcat will be contacting you soon. If you haven’t, but you’d like to, please pledge now.

We have already succeeded in fielding 3 election monitoring teams. But we’re still looking for people in to help us in the following areas:

  • Sheffield - only one more person needed for Pledge success!
  • South Bucks (in Pledgebank use “Denham” - the one near Uxbridge, Harefield, Fulmer)
  • Bedford
  • Breckland (in Pledgebank use “East Dereham”)
  • Dover
  • Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Warwick (in Pledgebank use the one near Leek Wootton, Old Milverton, Leamington)

    As a candidate in Dover (little Stour and Ashstone) I am worried atthe prospect of electronic counting. I do not like the idea - any way to voice my displeasure?

    Dear Frank

    Please feel free to email us a statement of your views and concerns. This will be included in our report which will be submitted to the relevant authorities.

    You also may wish to directly voice your concerns to the Returning Officer and the Electoral Commission.

    All the best,
    Jason
