From Start To Finish: Anatomy Of A Canvass

Ever wish you had canvassing tips to save you and your team a lot of time and heartache. Check out our infographic below which goes through a typical day in the life of a canvasser.

Canvassing operations should prioritize capturing information accurately and securely, as well as taking the opportunity to get your message across. Our top canvassing tips include:

• Assemble your canvassing teams in advance and assign turfs or canvassing routes to them.
• Make sure all of your canvassers are fully trained and understand what they are trying to achieve.
• Ensure everyone has a fully charged phone and all of the safety and comfort items that they might need.
• Do a security check with all canvassers before they go out in the field.
• Give all canvassers a 'canvass script' with a number of questions that need to be filled out.
• If personally identifiable data is being taken from voters, have a way to capture consent from the individual, ie, have an e-signature component to your mobile canvassing apps.
• Make sure you sync all canvass data back to your central database after the canvass and clear any data from individual mobile phones if necessary.
• Check that all canvassers have been accounted for and returned from the field.
• Assess the data and build your next phase of operations from this.
