Our contacts in Kentish Town North
These are the locations of the Confirmed and Swayable voters that we got from canvassing the ward. More will be added later today, and the full version will be available on Thursday.
We will be given sheets with the names, addresses of people we have met during our canvassing in the constituency who live in the Kentish Town North ward. This is a map of their postcodes and we can group them so people door knocking will be send to locations close to each other. The points are graded by the number of Confirmed AF voters and those we classed a Swayable. The darker the blue the more favourable contacts at that postcode.
