The Guardian Calls for Public Submission of Local Election Leaflets
The Guardian has launched a public call to action, inviting readers to submit photographs and details of local election leaflets received through their doors. The publication aims to analyze the political landscape during a period described as 'political turmoil' by examining which parties identify each other as rivals in specific local areas. This initiative seeks to gather data on campaign strategies and voter targeting at the grassroots level. Submissions can be made via an encrypted form that allows users to remain anonymous if they choose. The form requests information regarding the recipient's location, background, and specifics about the leaflets, including party names and visual evidence. The collected data will be used solely for this feature, with personal information deleted once the project concludes. Participants are also given the option to engage further with audio or video teams.
