Turnout, not persuasion, decides most close elections. In the final stretch before Election Day, phone banking is still one of the most effective ways to remind supporters to actually vote, but only if your volunteers have a script that makes the call easy to make.
That's why we put together this GOTV calling script: a simple, ready-to-use flow your team can hand to any volunteer, whether it's their first shift or their fiftieth.
The script keeps things focused. It opens by confirming the caller knows the election is happening, and branches from there: if they're already planning to vote, the volunteer wraps up with a quick reminder to mark the date. If they're undecided or say no, the volunteer gets a gentle, non-partisan prompt to understand why and offer help, like polling location details, without ever pushing a candidate or a position. It closes with a warm thank-you either way.
It's built to be adapted. Drop in your election date, region, and candidate details, and it's ready to print or load into your calling tool.
Download the script, share it with your calling team, and get your volunteers dialing.
