During the election, each party has the right to appoint for each section a list representative, responsible for ensuring that the voting take place properly. For a long time that the list was representative of a duty of militancy. Then one day the mass parties are over and so the political parties found themselves in the position of having to hire people not registered to do the representatives of the lists, even paying them.
habit of hiring representatives from other municipalities or provinces (so they can vote outside their constituency, bringing votes "fresh"), you add a new practice by individual candidates for elected assemblies: to appoint "bins votes" . These are people (mostly young) who are responsible for taking note of the preference votes in each section by the proposed purchaser.
Obviously, this sacrifice is paid, and even pretty good. In addition to collecting data, the candidate will also pay their seeding. For the collector of votes at least commits to vote for the candidate who pays . Since the bins more often than not unrelated to the parties or even strangers to politics and civic life, have no particular objection to give their vote to their benefactor. Polling stations in Corato we found several. Candidates not resident in or with Corato Corato and its territory have no connection, can easily pick up (at worst) one vote from each bin without even strive to come to town to win the trust of voters and "trampling" even local candidates on the same list. Just a few friends to do as in the countryside of Foggia, where the "gang masters" recruiting for a song collectors (of tomatoes).
We say softly, but with pride, our representatives in the list (we do not have wallets ...) have always been and always will be activists, volunteers and not paid!
