</div>Ideas are very welcome from anyone in the community to increase<br>
turnout: show the council to be more relevant over the 6 month term?<br>
increased advertising? follow-up mailshots to remind people to vote?<br>
<br>
"Increased turnout" is a laudable goal, but specific suggestions on<br>
how to do it are welcome.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>

</font><div><div></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br> Usually the problem is lack of information. That leads to lack of interest and motivation -> one doesn't vote because he/she feels that it doesn't really make a difference.</div>
<br><br>For example wiki page about council that is at max half page long for dummies would help. But the amount of help could be equal to zero...<br>("who cares?!? my PR 1.2 hasn't arrived!!!!!!!!!!" .......)<br>
<br>so there is a lot to do and figure out.<br><br>Ossipena / TimoP<br></div>
