Get Out The Vote (GOTV)

Last Updated on June 16, 2025 by Hannah Seeley

Get Out The Vote (GOTV) is an organized initiative by member organizations to get eligible members to vote. Organizations employ various GOTV strategies to encourage election turnout, including reminder emails, text or SMS campaigns, phone campaigns, social media, email newsletters, and promotional direct mail content. In member-driven organizations, GOTV campaigns help ensure democratic engagement and representation, especially for leadership elections, bylaw amendments, or referenda. This engagement strategy is also important for organizations that need to meet quorum requirements.
