The effectiveness of any activity depends on how personal the contact is. GOTV techniques and their names vary by campaign. Phone banks are a great way to reach a large number of people in a short amount of time. They are typically used for persuasion and GOTV calls in a campaign, but they are also helpful in recruiting other volunteers, or building a crowd for an event. Letter carriers can be a tremendous resource to a campaign's canvassing efforts because of their knowledge of neighborhoods and streets.
Letter carriers can show walkers the quickest way to reach the maximum number of voters on a street.
Mail Campaigns send a lot of persuasion and GOTV mail before the election to get supporters to the polls. All of this mail need to be stuffed, labeled and stamped. Poll Watching Campaigns put a supporter at each polling place to keep track of who has voted. This is an area where each campaign and state vary in implementation, so be sure that you attend the campaign's pre-election day training.
