Relational Voter Program
Research1,2 indicates that adding friend-to-friend contact to traditional Get Out the Vote (GOTV) is a promising way to turn out more voters and increase civic engagement.
LWV-AFC is asking every member to identify 5-10 individuals in your own circles and networks that may be low propensity/high opportunity voters. Over the coming months, you will be asked to reach out to them with election preparation and reminders. Contact method is flexible—text, email, phone call, or a casual face-to-face conversation. Prompts will be provided.
Your participation in our League’s Relational Voter Program will play an important part in a mass mobilization for the November general election.
Sign up for RVP at the annual meeting or contact action@lwv.org.
