get-out-the-vote
GOTV stands for
Get-Out-The-Vote - reminding people to vote and helping them
get to the polls on Election Day. GOTV can range from low
impact, casual conversation, to intense, highly organized
door-knock efforts. Registering people to vote is the first
step toward voter mobilization - and GOTV is the next step
toward increasing voter participation.
Nonprofit organizations
can legally engage in nonpartisan GOTV efforts - and they
don't have to be time consuming or difficult. Nonprofit organizations
have relationships with many disengaged voters, and we have
a unique ability to help get them to the polls.
There
are lots of ways that you can help Get Out The Vote in your
organization and in your community - the materials and information
below are designed to help you do just that.

To get started
on your GOTV plan, we've designed a GOTV Toolbox, which includes
a GOTV Planning Template, and information on same-day registration,
voting by absentee ballot, and giving rides to the polls.
