    When it comes to door-knocking, it’s less about your opinions and more about listening to and addressing their concerns. So you don’t really want to just hammer with what comes across as a propaganda sledgehammer, as much as listen and converse. With extra emphasis on listen. Have to be flexible.

    With a phone bank, probably have to stick to a script.

    There’s other things too though, registration drives and giving people rides to polling places on election day, teaching people how mail-in works, stuff like that. Just generic get-out-the-vote stuff.

      Also, some organizations do (politically agnostic) postcard / letter writing campaigns to encourage people to go vote. I did one of these campaigns in 2020.

      Search for something like “send postcards encourage voting”.

      I am planning to join up with one of these again for 2024. I find writing much more in my comfort zone and skill set than face to face or phone banks.
