Tell us why you are voting yes
Send us a short video of no more than one minute of you talking about why you’re voting yes. Videos will be published on the Branch’s social media and publications. Instructions:
- Script: I’m [full name*] and I’m a [nurse/midwife/carer]. I’m voting yes because [insert reason].
- No more than one minute
- Make sure you are in a well-lit room that has no background noise.
- Hold your phone horizontally/landscape (this is important) and if filming handheld, try and keep your phone steady.
- Frame yourself so you’re looking directly at the camera straight ahead (not looking down at your phone). Perhaps ask someone to film you.
- Name your video file with your name, so we know who you are and upload your video to our Dropbox folder. No email as the file size will be too big.
*We will edit out your full name, we just need it for identification purposes.
