The 2022 I Can Vote campaign is now live for Candidates and Parties! Spread the word to the 2022 Victorian State Election candidates in your networks.

Our team launched the 2022 campaign earlier this week by releasing our Guide for Candidates and Parties. Now is the time for 2022 Victorian State Election Candidates to start the quick and easy process of creating an I Can Vote easy language video for voters.

Candidates and parties only have two weeks to submit their short policy outline to the I Can Vote team so that we can translate it into easy language and arrange videography.

Parties need to create a whole-of-party video first before their candidates can create an individual candidate video. Independents can start the process straight away!

Sign up at the Candidate page of our website.
