UK Local Elections

*UK local elections
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_local_elections,_2018> 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:

the 10th of April, councils will publish who the candidates are. We’ll all
need this data so let’s crowdsource it together:

London on the 10th of April, there’s an afternoon + evening of coworking
around this stuff, hosted by Democracy Club
