Use Case

GOTV Texting

Increase turnout with targeted get-out-the-vote campaigns.

Campaign objective

Remind identified supporters to vote, capture vote-plan status, and close remaining contacts through Election Day.

When to use it

Early vote windows, ballot-drop periods, and Election Day — after registration and the voter CRM are in place. GOTV should not wait until the last minute to start 10DLC.

Who to contact

Identified supporters and vote-universe segments the campaign is authorized to contact.

Typical workflow

  1. Send a clear voting reminder with date, method, and one next action.
  2. Capture voted / plan to vote / need info / already voted.
  3. Follow up remaining contacts as the window closes.
  4. Use WhyIVote only when extra candidate or issue information helps the voter complete a plan — not as a substitute for the vote ask.

What gets captured

  • Vote-plan status
  • Need-info flags
  • Final opt-outs

Success measures

  • Contacts reached in-window
  • Plan-to-vote replies
  • Remaining universe at close
