get-out-the-vote drives  

Definition

  • MOBILIZING PARTICIPATION IN the principal democratic act of voting is a primary concern in most campaign strategies. Traditionally, these “get-out-the-vote” (GOTV) drives relied upon such tactics as door-to-door canvassing, distributing literature, posting signs, providing transportation to polling places, and telephoning potential voters in the days leading up to an election.
