election

Not having worked a general election before when will the election material start and will we be snowed under?

Material will prob start about mid to end of march, it's not that bad to be honest usually like a couple of extra d2d per week and the the week before an increase again

Make sure your rep starts the negotiations with Dom ASAP about election payments the rate is locally agreed (usually they keep to the historic rate) upto 6p per item some areas get as little as 3p but get rep to insist on the max

The big three parties often send out individually addressed items, sometimes to more than one person at the same address. This means that on some days you get several hundred extra items that you have to put in the correct frame slots. For the smaller parties you'll get unaddressed items which you treat as D2Ds.

If you've got a sensible DOM you'll be able to spread the material out over a few days.

Doesn't sound much fun at least it doesn't happen every year
