A quote from Tony Bassett, communications co-ordinator for the SACL:

"This election cycle, one of the things that we thought would be important and certainly beneficial to the persons for whom we provide services and supports to would be an election guide," said Bassett. "That election guide is specifically designed to present information to those we support about the process they need to be participants in the election as far as being a voter is concerned - some of the fundamentals that they need to know about registering to vote: what they need to do on election day and how they can come better involved in the election campaign, some questions they may wish to ask candidates that are running in their constituency."
