Perth & Kinross: Green Living Participatory Budgeting Fund – VOTING OPEN

THE GREEN LIVING PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING FUND IS OPEN FOR VOTING

VOTING CLOSES ON 1 MARCH

The online voting process for the Green Living PB Fund is open – vote now via this link Participatory budgets (communitychoices.scot). In order to vote you must:

1. Sign in using your MyGovScot, Facebook or Google account OR register with the webpage using an existing email address.
2. Select the locality in which you wish to vote – note that you can only vote in one locality and should vote in the locality in which you live. Localities are combinations of one or more Perth and Kinross Council wards. If you are not sure which locality you live in, you can use your address to check which ward you are in at Find your local councillor – Perth & Kinross Council (pkc.gov.uk). The table below sets out which locality each ward is in:

* Please note that there is no public vote required in Strathtay. The groups who submitted bids for funding in Strathtay will be contacted separately.

3. Note the total funding available in that locality – this is displayed at the top of the screen.
4. Read through each of the bids in your locality and decide which bids you wish to support.
5. Click ‘Vote’ on the bids you wish to support and keep an eye on your available budget. This will go down as your cast your votes.
6. You can vote for as many projects as you wish until you have either spent the full budget, or have insufficient budget left to vote for any more projects.
7. You do not need to spend the full budget. If you only wish to vote for one or two projects that is fine.
8. You can sign in again at a later date, using the same long-in details and amend your vote prior to the closing date on 1 March.
