Write a letter to the editor!

Want to speak out?

Use GetUp's new email tool and have your voice heard on election day!
What's the one thing your fellow voters are most likely to do this Saturday before they go to the polls? Read the morning paper! And what's the single most-read page of the paper (besides the front page of course)? The letters page!

So send your message to voters about why this election is important and what they should be thinking about at the polls. Remember to keep it short and sweet - 150 words is a good target - and you're a lot more likely to get published if you lead with a reference to a story in yesterday's or today's paper.
