Become an Independent Candidate
Politicians on local and national levels make important decisions that shape the future of their towns, villages, and cities on issues such as health, education, tax, and energy policy. It is so important for politicians to represent the full diversity of our communities, making decisions that improve life.
We know the barriers facing women in politics, especially when getting started. We spend every day challenging them, breaking down walls, and delivering the support women need to stand for election and succeed.
If you are ready to become an Independent candidate but not sure where to begin, have a look at our Independent Handbook we created with 50:50 Parliament. It provides information on how to get started and the training and support available to you. Already an Independent? Our handbook also breaks down the top tips from Independent politicians and directs you to the financial support you have available when you decide to become a candidate.
We need women like you to achieve equal representation. That’s why the team at Elect Her works to motivate, support, and equip women in all their diversity to stand for political office. So, if you are passionate about your local area and want to have a say in decisions, get in touch, join our free community, and read on!
