How parties are encouraging their supporters to vote
On voting day, political parties have just one goal: get their supporters to the polls.
Here’s a sampling of the e-mails Ontario parties have been sending today to supporters.
Ontario Liberals
It’s Election Day in Ontario.
We’ve campaigned hard for the last 36 days on the belief that government can be a force for good in people’s lives and that with the right team, we can move Ontario forward.
[Supporter name], you are a part of that Ontario Liberal team.
You’ve been right next to me every step of the way. And before you head out today to get out our vote, I want you to know that none of this would be possible without you. I’m so grateful for all that you’ve put into this campaign.
We’ve made our case to the people of Ontario. But now it’s up to you.
Every vote you pull today is one vote closer to victory. In a race this tight, one vote really could be the difference. We’re counting on you to help put us over the top. I believe we can do it.
I can’t think of a better team to get it done. We have the best ground team in the province. And I could not be more proud of you.
Now, let’s show our opposition how it’s done.
Yours,
Kathleen
Progressive Conservatives
We’re hours away from polls opening tomorrow morning, and I wanted to describe the lay of the land for you:
1. Polls have us closer to winning than we’ve been since 1999.
2. The Liberals and their special interest allies are going to extremes trying to cling to power.
3. Pollsters and pundits have called this election too close to call and one of the tightest races in Ontario’s history, but say our supporters are the most motivated to win.
We’ve seen the Liberals and their special interest union allies attack Tim Hudak and our Million Jobs Plan with negative TV ads, smear campaigns, offensive literature, even flat out lies and mistruths.
They are desperate to maintain their grasp on power so they can keep your taxes going up for THEIR benefit.
The truth is that they will do anything tomorrow to keep their costly stranglehold on government. It’s simple: if the Liberals win, taxpayers lose.
But you don’t have to listen to Kathleen Wynne’s fearmongering. You can make up your own mind with this simple question: Are you better off after 11 years of the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals?
Tomorrow, your vote will matter more than it has for the last 15 years.
Take a minute tonight and commit to vote tomorrow for a better future for Ontario.
It’s going to be a tight race, but we can rise above Kathleen Wynne’s message of negativity and get Ontario working better.
Have a plan, commit to vote, and help us bring hope to Ontario.

Friend —
I wanted to be the first to share this with you.
A new Ipsos-Reid poll released minutes ago shows that New Democrats have momentum all over Ontario.
This poll shows that in every community in Ontario, you vote New Democrat to stop Tim Hudak.
Polls open in just fifteen-and-a-half hours.
Please spread the word: Facebook and Twitter
And forward this email to a friend or two.
Together, we can do this.
