Art and Science of a Successful GOTV Effort
April 6, 2020
Just because you can’t leave your house doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be planning how to get out the vote. American Majority is providing FREE webinars each week to help you ensure you’re prepared to win come November. Take this time to plan to succeed at running a successful get out the vote campaign!
What does Get Out the Vote mean?
Get out the vote is a phrase that describes campaign’s and organization’s efforts to motivate the electorate to show up on election day and cast their ballot (or mail-in, absentee, etc). It is harnessing the passion and the drive of the people who claim to support your candidacy into actual votes that are tallied in your favor. Afterall, who cares how many people say they will support you if they don’t actually do it on election day!
Why Does it Matter?
Increasing voter turnout should always be a priority, especially if your base is composed of demographics that generally don’t show up at the polls. Convincing them that your campaign is worth casting a ballot is essential to ensuring victory, and that’s what we all want, right?
