Many have asked me, besides actively joining politics, what they can do to help us help the country. One of the simplest and least political of activities which can be carried out is to help conduct voter registration exercises.br /br /Currently, my DAP Damansara branch and service centre carries out voter registration exercises every Monday night from about 7.30pm at the SS2 pasar malam, just outside Medan Selera, same row as McDonalds. We register anything between 40-100 new voters each evening.br /br /But even in Petaling Jaya itself, there are quite a few more pasar malams which we can hold weekly sessions, such as the key ones in Taman Megah (Sun), Taman Paramount (Sun), SS2 Chow Yang (Thu). But we don't have enough volunteers to carry out these sessions regularly at these venues. And we've not even included pasar pagi in SS2, Taman Megah and Section 17.br /br /With more volunteers, we could also hold one-off voter registration sessions at condominiums, shopping centres and other heavily populated venues. One exercise held at a local church recently spanning a few days yielded more than 200 new voters.br /br /So we call upon all who are keen and committed to help to contact us. You can email jshin48 (at) gmail (dot) com with the following details:br /blockquoteName:br /Contact No:br /Where you stay:br /Frequency: Adhoc only | weekly | fortnightly | Monthly (pls specify which day)br /Other indicators that will help us co-ordinate volunteersbr //blockquoteFor those who wants to help in other constituencies, feel free to email in as well, and we'll try to direct you to the right persons in charge in those areas.br /br /For those who are not aware, political parties have approved assistant registrars by the Election Commission to conduct these voter registration exercises. You can of course, visit your nearest post office as well to get yourself registered. ;-)div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37045477-8385728371323569682?l=tonypua.blogspot.com'//div
