The aim of the workshop was to increase capacity of the political spokespeople to undertake voter education, encouraging people to vote, and be aware of the issues.

The workshop focused on programming to create voter information, voter education, and civic education, as well as look at how political parties engage with these. Radio spots are idea for voter information and education, as they can be played repetitively throughout the lead up to the elections. Different spots can also be used at key times, i.e. to tell people how to register, are to remind people to go out and vote on election day. Spots are also good for a wide range of listeners, as the targeted messages can be understand by people with low political literacy. They are also ideal for training purposes, as they allow for a large range of skills to be passed along, much of which can also be used for other formats.
