LabourList | eCanvassing – an idea for Labour from Norway’s Arbeiderpartiet
“Back at the 2010 general election I was always the one given the odd direct mails to deliver in the constituency where I was volunteering. Why? Because, armed with an iPhone with GPS and Google Maps, I could find the places no-one with a regular map could locate.
Since then, when doing both regular and telephone canvassing to Labour, I’ve been struck by the paper-based nature of it all. The data gathered either on the street or the telephone will be entered electronically into the party’s records, so why not speed up the process?”
