Organising a Hustings meeting
Be involved … in the political process
An election forum provides an ideal opportunity for a local church, or a group of local churches, to make a positive contribution to an election.
Often, a church-based electoral meeting will be the only major activity in the pre-election period. Indeed, one Member of the Scottish Parliament said recently that in her experience church-based election forums were the most effective and best organised.
CARE has drawn up a 10-page guide giving full details of how your church can run such an event.
The document includes:
- Why run an election forum?
- Advance planning
- Staying within the law
- Draft letters to candidates
- A draft press release
The guide can be downloaded as a pdf (120kb) and as a Microsoft Word document (70kb).
