| Over the next three years, MLA's, potential Candidates, Official Agents, Charities, and the Public should be educated regarding the potential of this methodology. | |
| • The GNWT Department of Justice and Elections NWT should endorse this concept so there is no question regards legality. | |
|
• Charities should support a website through which people can contribute. • Contributors would choose which Candidate they wish to support. • Contributors would choose which Charity they would like to support with their portion of excess contributions. • The site would forward tax receipts and reports to Candidate Official Agents to reduce their workload. | |
| • Charities should mobilize the Press, Radio and Television to inform the public. | |
| • Candidates should have a link to the contribution site on their info-site, and promote the potential at opportune times. | |
| To maximize the funding pool for charitable organizations during the election period in the fall of 2011: | ||
Maximize Revenue: | ||
| Acclaimed candidates who would be excellent collection points for these funds. They have no expenses so all contributed funds can be donated. | ||
Reduce Expenditures: | ||
| Candidates should continue to limit their election spending per historical norms. | ||
Volunteer labour or property produced by volunteer labour not normally charged for is not a contribution. Therefore: | ||
| • Candidates should maximize their volunteer labour force, and | ||
| • Charities should mobilize volunteers to assist candidates. | ||
