How to Make a Vote Plan Handout
This resource explains how to develop an effective voter outreach script focused on one of the most important goals of any Get Out The Vote (GOTV) effort: helping supporters commit to casting their ballot. Rather than simply reminding someone to vote, volunteers are encouraged to walk voters through the specific steps they will take to participate in the election.
The guide outlines how to structure conversations that identify when a voter plans to vote, where they will cast their ballot, and whether they have any logistical barriers that could prevent them from participating. By prompting voters to think through these details in advance, campaigns can significantly increase the likelihood that supporters follow through on Election Day or during early voting.
In addition to sample language and best practices, the resource emphasizes strategies for reinforcing voter commitment, encouraging accountability, and empowering supporters to remind friends and family members to vote as well. The result is a more organized, voter-focused outreach effort that can help campaigns maximize turnout and strengthen community engagement.
