The district council election entered the final stage. Behind the election project, a group of volunteers worked quietly. "The "helping volunteers" was originally a boring and affable job. I hope that I can make things easier to enter and wait for more people to participate." PY and FM, the actual number of meetings is less than five times. But not born outside. They are co-founders of the District Residents. The English name Watlunteer of this page is a synthesis of water and volunteer, using the power of the Internet to call the "Mobile Sharing Volunteer Group". Participants do not need to be fixed to help only one candidate, but they can also choose the corresponding time period according to their own schedule. In this way, the two called it "flow-through aid."

"You constituency member? Do you know that I have seen you in a month?" PY, who is engaged in IT program development, has candidates who have been asked from time to time. He does not know FM, which is engaged in the advertising industry. His age, background and circle are different. But like many Hong Kong people, he has been linked by Telegram and Lian Deng in recent months. In the discussion on weekdays, I know that many of the district candidates did not have any contacts to find volunteers. "It has been difficult to elect volunteers all the time. Some candidates have reflected that a constituency is too big and good. When the few helpers set up their stations, they would become smashed or smashed into months, and they would see you in the neighborhood."

In mid-October, they set up a "Zone of the District" page to recruit volunteers. "I want to make a page easy to enter, and I have a timetable to see if there are one to ten options. You can pick it. You You can only pick a single day, I will ask you to stay in the mark for a long time to die, mainly because you want to make it easier for everyone to help the candidate. The younger FM means that there are only three People, by now, about 500 people have participated. "With a limited manpower, try to help the most candidates. This method should be feasible."

Work, mode of operation, silver-haired and housewives are important

The "Registrar" is simple to operate. After contacting the candidate, the administrator will put the time needed for help in the Telegram group and use the "voting" function to let the volunteers choose. The administrator then passes the volunteer's contact method directly to the candidate, or the administrator makes the intermediary to continue the arrangement. PY and FM refer to the vast amount of information being reported almost all the time. It can be seen from their essays that the titles include "helping the election to be simple and simple" and "deteriorating a grandson". In addition to targeting young students, they are more elderly and housewife volunteers. Because of this, they have already opened The whatsapp group.

The job of assisting the election is nothing more than slogans, leaflets, billboards, etc. at the street station. There are also candidates who want to conduct home visits, house washing and even jogging activities. "At the end of the day, the volunteers decided to work. The two said that whether or not the election-supporting activities should be assessed by the volunteers should be evaluated by the volunteers. It is also appropriate to evaluate whether a candidate is "available". "Amateurs may be political speculators, and regional work may not be good." As long as it is a "common passer", even if it is a collision zone, I will help you to recruit for help."

Before the start of the recruitment of volunteers, they had conducted internal discussions. The "fact check" was used to screen out the "pseudo-independent" lottery (and would not help the establishment). The rest were judged by the public. "A lot of The candidates are in the middle of the game, we are "pure", only a platform role, so that the results of the polls will be the first to help others," FM said.

Amateur VS system is not equal

"The candidates will be the savior of the savior, at most, only the life-saving grass." FM laughed. He believes that the prime minister and the founding party are fighting. The two sides are not at the same starting line. "There is a resource for the establishment of the system. You can even use the money to help members of the electoral group. The amateurs stand alone at the street, and the publicity effect is large enough. There may be dangers." Candidates such as Saigon He Weihang and North Point Qiu Xinxin have been attacked one after another. In higher-risk areas, candidates need more volunteers. "Individual observation, the soul of the family is worthy of work, and the net is like a robot." ."

Because FM also has a participatory relationship, the "Residents" are in cooperation with the "Freedom Department" (the District Council Information Platform established by the private sector). They revealed that at the beginning, more than 10 people have expressed their need to help recruit volunteers. Since then, it has attracted many organizations such as "Student's Calendar" and "Gathering Kwun Tong". Many of the volunteers have been provided. "The most obvious example is the Leung Ka-li in Kowloon City. There are 10 people in the camp. There are even people. Tedden was helped by Tsing Yi in the past." PY said that in the past, he also paid attention to district elections. In the last session, he also helped democratic candidates in Tai Po District, but described the participation level as unprecedented. "Previously, the generosity was limited. One or two candidates from the same district have contact with candidates from various districts in Hong Kong. To know more about other districts, there will be people who will ask me for their opinions and talk about the elections."

How to see this district election?

There is also a short-term election day. What do they think? FM admitted that in his eyes, even if the district election is cancelled, it doesn't matter. "However, if the government has to pay for it, then someone must help him to return and use the money and resources to return to Hong Kong, so I I will first want to be a helper."

PY pointed out that district election is a "battlefield" with clear indicators. Although many people do not agree with it, he believes that "the election of land will be won." In terms of the situation, does a group of ordinary people have the opportunity to kick off the establishments? PY tends to be optimistic. "This time, many people have been arrogant, and they have revealed that many people think that it is difficult to incite people. The original results are very good." He took Qiu Xin’s opponent Xu Qing’an as an example, saying that he was found in his post. In the past year, he only spoke for 82 seconds. Another member of the Tai Po District was found to have never spoken during the meeting and had barely participated in the work of the District Council. "In the past, people thought that political people should have to go back and forth, so they would rather vote for the N-year-old, but this event is a rare event in a hundred years. Voters are willing to marry young people a chance."

"If you try it out, you can bury the Legislative Council and you can play it." PY and FM pointed out that if the "Residents of the District" are highly concerned, they will continue to help candidates recruit water in this way in the future. Volunteer.
