Winning GOTV at the Door

How to Turn Supporters Out to Vote

Effective get-out-the-vote (GOTV) canvassing requires preparation, clear communication, sound judgment, and accurate recordkeeping. Join Mateo T. Portelli, author of Democracy on Sale: The 7 Rules of Door-to-Door Political Canvassing, for a one-hour online workshop covering the essential principles of door-to-door voter contact. Learn how to prepare for canvassing assignments, engage voters professionally, manage difficult interactions, discuss voting participation plans, and accurately record results. The workshop also covers verified election information, field operations, and disciplined follow-up. Designed for campaign staff, field directors, volunteers, candidates, and grassroots activists, this training provides a practical framework for organized, effective, and professional GOTV operations.
