      Lots of group onboarding processes that can bring together a large group of prospects and involve them in educational and organization opportunities for a few months while we formally onboard in small batches. It winnows out folks who aren't very serious and giving the ones who are much firmer footing when they get brought in.

      We changed nothing, other then the usual refining of tactics. It is the direct effect of the campaign as a method for raising awareness and engaging new members.

        I'm not asking how so many people came to apply - I'm happy saying that was because of the campaign.

        My impression is that PSL (like most parties) is barely able to handle ordinary organic applicants.

        Is there some sort of new process for turning these election applicants into full members?

        If not, is "massive number of applicants" a meaningful metric?

          Many branches refined their application process as a result of this, and the entire system for applications to join online was revamped. Party members were very clear that this can't be an opportunity that slips through the PSL's hands and in my experience we were far better about engaging on this than in the past.
