Write a letter to your local paper

 
Writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper in support of MMP, especially in the lead up to the referendum, is a great way to help promote the benefits of MMP.

A list of email addresses for writing a 'letter to the editor' to some of the main newspapers in New Zealand is below. 

Check the guidelines for contributions with the newspaper directly – in general, letters must be no more than 200 words and you need to supply your name and address.
