ALDC has produced a library of materials you can download to help you organise your campaign.
‘This Week’ Social Media Graphics
Many councillors like to report on their weekly work using social media graphics. You may have seen many of our MPs do the same. We have some template graphics to help you communicate your good work to local residents
Deliverer and Clerical Instructions
When dropping off leaflets or stuffing with local volunteers it is best practice to include an instruction note. Even if they are experienced volunteers it is a nice touch and provides them with a contact number in case they have any questions or issues completing what you have given them.
Blue and Cream Letters
Hand-addressed blue and cream letters are a key part of any election campaign. But it is a big logistical task making sure they get addressed correctly. You can download some materials below to help you organise your letter-writing:

Also below are some legal necessities including Committee Room posters and an Election Office Poster that must be displayed in your Committee Room:
