The Importance of Canvassing in Political Campaigns
Canvassing, particularly door-to-door canvassing, has been found to be a highly effective tactic in increasing voter turnout. Research studies, such as the New Haven Experiment conducted by Don Green and Alan Gerber, have shown that direct contact with voters through canvassing has a significant impact on mobilization efforts. This has led to a surge in interest and investment in ground-oriented strategies and a recognition of the value of interpersonal contact in political campaigns.
