The Best Way on the Best Day:
Studies show that the most effective way to get people to vote is to simply ask them (to their face). And what's the one day each year that people actually expect strangers to knock on their doors? Halloween, of course, which takes place at the same time every year: Just days before the General Election.
This year, Trick or Vote events will be going down in over 30 cities and 50 college campuses nationwide to fight the fright of young voter apathy. Trick or Vote Denver will be one of the biggest canvasses in 2008. Just days before the election, costumed volunteers will be knocking on doors to remind people to vote, distribute voter guides, and generate both grassroots and media awareness before Election Day.
Participation in Trick or Vote is Simple, Fun & Costumed:
Get started by signing up at TrickorVote.org. On Halloween, you'll get a spookily simple training by expert Trick or Trainers, then knock on some blood-curdling doors to creep-out-the-vote. Afterward, you and your ghoulish friends can toast your success with live music and Halloween shenanigans at the Trick or Vote afterparty with 3OH!3, Meniskus, SoundRabbit, and even bowling.
Although Trick or Vote is a nonpartisan Get Out The Vote canvass, volunteers will be encouraged to canvass with literature of their choice from any of the number of Ballot Measure campaigns that will be present.
