#LESHVOTE 2020
This year, we partnered with Paru Politics to run a Get Out The Vote campaign. Paru Politics is an educational platform which was established by three Māori law students at the University of Otago. The aim of Paru Politics was to disseminate political and civic information, specifically about the 2020 General Election, with the overarching goal being to encourage people to vote and make informed voting decisions. Paru Politics developed multi-media content for social media, including infographics and videos that provided viewers with information about the election. Paru Politics were able to produce 37 infographics and one video for their 3000 plus followers in Instagram. Their posts reached over 8000 people.
Paru Politics also co-hosted two election forums/debates during the campaign period.
The first debate, the Youth Wing Debate, included the representatives of all the youth wings and received over 10,000 views on Facebook.
The second debate, National Tertiary Students' Election Forum, featured the Tertiary Spokespeople from political parties and received 3,500 views on Facebook.
