NEW GUIDELINES FOR GOTV
• Wide and shallow is good: One contact with a 100 people is
better than two with 50 people
• Increase social pressure• Talk about voting, not issues: Ask and help people to vote,
but don’t try to persuade them on the issues
• Stretching the GOTV timeframe: Voting by mail and voting
early in person
• Good conversations make a difference: Connecting with voters increases their likelihood to vote
