Running electoral registration - Wales

Approaching partners about supporting registration

You will need to approach potential or existing partners about the possibility of them supporting your registration work. To an extent, you will need to ‘pitch’ your request to them to ensure that it has the highest chance of getting them on board, particularly as they may have requests from other organisations. 

First, research the best time for your approach – will they, for example, be busy at a particular time with another priority?  

You will also need to ensure your proposal contains ideas of how they could help, and how helping would be beneficial to them and to the people they work with. This will have a higher chance of getting them on board, particularly as they may have requests from other organisations. 

Not all organisations and individuals will be in a position to get involved; it’s important to accept this and where possible consider alternatives.

You will also need to support partners throughout any activities to increase the likelihood of them remaining engaged.
