What is a Voting Block?

A Voting Block brings people together around the issues that matter to their community. Members identify shared concerns, discuss solutions, set shared priorities and take collective action – from petitions and community meetings to engagement with decision-makers.

Voting Blocks can represent a constituency, community, organization or shared-interest group – including trade unions, professional associations and civic groups – giving people an organized way to turn shared concerns into collective action.

Connect

Join people who share concerns affecting your community.

Decide

Discuss issues and establish shared priorities.

Act

Turn priorities into petitions, advocacy, and action.
