UK Local Elections
Edward Saperia
UK local elections are just over a month away. Locals are generally considered less exciting, but we’ve had a lot of election practice recently, and voters are more engaged than ever, so no sense wasting the moment.
1/ If you’re thinking of doing anything to do with the election, have a look at this first: http://bit.ly/LE2018TechHandbook.
2/ On the 10th of April, councils will publish who the candidates are. We’ll all need this data so let’s crowdsource it together: https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk
3/ If you happen to be in London on the 10th of April, there’s an afternoon + evening of coworking around this stuff, hosted by Democracy Club, Tech For Good and Citizen Beta at Newspeak House: https://attending.io/events/election-tech-meetup
