On 5 May, voters across Scotland will elect their local councillors.

The choice is clear – SNP-led councils investing in communities and our public services, or Tories imposing cuts at any cost, often propped up by Labour.

Here are 5 ways you can help us win in these crucial elections.


1. Register to vote and spread the word

You can also read our article setting out the SNP’s 100 top achievements in government, and share it with your friends and followers.


3. Get involved with digital campaigning

Spreading the SNP’s positive message online is a small way to make a big impact, from the comfort of your home or on the go from your smartphone.

Find your local election candidates on social media, follow them and share their posts – and don’t forget to follow the SNP on TwitterFacebookInstagram and TikTok.

You can also watch our video guide to digital campaigning below, explaining all the ways to make the most of it.


4. Volunteer with your local team

Our campaigns are people-powered, and every activist can play a vital role in delivering SNP wins in councils across Scotland.

There are many ways you can get involved – from delivering leaflets, to canvassing or helping with street stalls.

If you’re an SNP member, go to MySNP to find your branch contact details and see how you can help out, and check out SNP College to find useful training.


5. Be visible

If you’re out campaigning with your local candidates or fellow activists, take some pictures and spread our positive message.

Share the pictures on social media using the #activeSNP and #VoteSNP hashtags.

You can also show your support by putting up a poster in your window, wearing an SNP badge, or displaying a sticker on your car bumper.

Head to the SNP Store to find these items, and much more.

I started working for Graeme’s office after graduating from Abertay University and while I was studying a post graduate at Dundee University. I then went on to work for Graeme full time as his constituency assistant.
