Local party Connect managers can create “phone bank only” Connect accounts for anyone who wants to help win a Remain vote by making calls through our system.
They can be anywhere in the world and it does not matter if they normally support another party. All they need is a phone, a computer and a genuine wish to help Remain win.
Accounts for this purpose can be set to expire on 24 June.
Don’t worry about “giving away secrets”. The way Connect / VAN works is well documented online as it is used by centre-left parties all over the world.
Having said that, it would not be surprising if Leave trolls asked for accounts and then purposely entered false data (even though that is a criminal offence).
I would only create an account for a non-member of the Liberal Democrats if I know them personally or if I have been able to make online checks so I am satisfied that they are what and who they say they are.
After a person has decided to help one campaign through the Liberal Democrats they might just decide to help again.

Like most members I am getting about three or four e-mails a day from the party about campaigning in the referendum. None yet from a woman!
