After a massive couple of weeks we're finally rounding the home stretch. It's time for a second wind.
In the last 24 hours, more than 1,500 GetUp members have signed up to volunteer on Saturday. They'll be joining a team of friendly neighbours to hand out independent, factual, issue-focused scorecards at polling booths all around the country. We're running a hugely ambitious program to distribute 2 million of these score cards to help Aussies cast an informed vote. But we're still short on volunteers for some key polling locations in your area.
With only 72 hours before election day three polling booth teams near you still need volunteers. Can you help?

The nearest teams to you that still need volunteers are:
Jamison High School hosted by Susanne's team - Jamison High School
Glenmore Park High School hosted by Susanne's team - Glenmore Park High School
Glenmore Park Primary School hosted by Susanne's team - Glenmore Park Primary School
Bligh Park Public School hosted by John's team - Bligh Park Public School
Winmalee High School hosted by Janice's team - Winmalee High School
Here's what this actually boils down to: In your neighbourhood, hundreds of voters will walk into the polling booth on election day still not set on how they're going to vote. Most of them will have seen a headline from a Murdoch paper on their doorstep or at a newsstand on their morning commute. Will that be the last thing in their mind as they cast their vote? Or will it be a fact-filled, issue-based score card ranking all the major parties on social justice, a fair economy, human rights, and the environment?
That all depends on whether you are there on Saturday to put on a smile and hand them that score card. Because if you don't come, there may not be anyone else to replace you.
