Be sure to follow through on any requests for absentee ballot applications, voter forms, address changes, rides to the polls, information about candidates, poll locations, and so on. Try to canvass in the early evenings during the week or on weekend afternoons. Be conscious of such times when weekend sports are on TV or a religious holiday, which might be bad times to come knocking at the door. Do not give up if no one is home the first time you call. Do not spend more than three or four minutes at any household.
Most interviews last only a minute.
Also tell people it will only take a minute to register to vote if they are not. An explanation of the party's position on an issue may be mailed, but always accompany such requests with a personal handwritten note from you. It is interesting to note that people are more apt to open and read mail that is hand-addressed rather than typed. Campaign Literature - Pamphlets and campaign literature are best distributed at the local level. Literature is costly , therefore distribute it wisely.
