Students involved in ongoing protests are urging citizens to participate in the upcoming elections by joining their efforts to prepare and monitor the electoral process. The initiative aims to mobilize a broad base of support for ensuring fair and transparent elections.
Through their website, blokade.org, the students are actively recruiting volunteers for a range of essential roles. These include positions such as election controllers, individuals who will engage in door-to-door outreach, logistics coordinators, and members of mobile teams. The campaign highlights that diverse skills and interests are welcome, ensuring that potential volunteers can find a role that suits them.
Someone will be a controller, someone will talk to citizens from door to door, someone will be part of logistics or a mobile team, and someone will contribute in another way
"Someone will be a controller, someone will talk to citizens from door to door, someone will be part of logistics or a mobile team, and someone will contribute in another way," the students stated on Instagram, outlining the varied opportunities available. They stressed that not everyone needs to undertake every task, but every individual's contribution is valuable.
The core message of the campaign is that "everyone can do something, and that something can make a difference." This call to action encourages citizens to actively engage in the democratic process, emphasizing the collective power of individual contributions to shape the outcome and integrity of the elections.
Not everyone needs to do everything, but everyone can do something, and that something can make a difference
