2016 GOTPV (Get Out The Postal Vote) Script
We have created a script which can be used during GOTPV (Get Out The Postal Vote)
operations for the upcoming elections. It is designed to be given to your volunteers as a
reminder of the important questions to ask when speaking to voters on the doorstep or over
the phone and how to ask them effectively. It also has spaces for your campaign’s
messaging and contains useful reminders of the party codes entered into voter ID sheets,
the Campaigners’ Code of Conduct and the date after which voters should chase up
missing postal ballot papers.
If you would like to use the GOTPV Script, it is available from this page:
https://members.labour.org.uk/resources-for-organisers. If you need any further information
or have any feedback then please email: [email protected].

Appoint an EU Referendum Officer
We are asking each CLP to appoint an EU Referendum Officer to help us roll out our
campaign across the country and to ensure every CLP’s campaign is effective as possible.
This will be a non-constitutional role, so it is up to your CLP to decide who you appoint. It
could be an existing CLP officer, Chair, secretary or campaign co-ordinator or a newly
appointed person. Once you have appointed someone, please send their contact details to
Kylie Hammond at [email protected] so that they can be provided with
material to support your campaigns to keep Britain in the EU.

via a page on Membersnet, including uploading invoices or receipts for items of more than
£200, so that the General Secretary can submit the Referendum Expenses Return to the
Electoral Commission. Make sure you know how by attending this week’s webinar EU
Spending for CLPs , 6:30pm Wednesday 6th April, as we will look at how we monitor and
