SDP · Campaigning & Candidates

What can we feasibly do?

Ward types

Type over the big and small ward figures, or drag the custom ward to match a real one.

What can we do?

How many of each campaign we could run if we put everything into that one type. The count is whichever runs out first: core activists' hours or everyone's hours.

Rates

Delivery and thank-you cards can be done by anyone. Postal vote letter prep, canvassing and admin need core activists. Half the long-campaign leaflet delivery is paid for. Thank-you cards go out after polling day, so their print isn't counted in £.
