Direct voter contact is a crucial strategy for engaging underrepresented communities. By having real conversations, volunteers can address specific concerns, provide tailored information, and motivate individuals to participate in elections. Direct voter contact increases voter turnout and also empowers communities. Local nonprofits are already embedded in the communities they serve and build trust year after year, making their volunteers trusted messengers to those communities. Want to get involved with a local nonprofit doing nonpartisan voter engagement? No experience necessary—all the orgs with voter contact programs will train you.
