Content: Mail Sample Ballots
Young and/or first-time voters may not be familiar with the voting procedure or the candidates. In that case, mailing a sample ballot can help demystify the process. They can decide beforehand who they want to vote for and learn how the ballot works. Social Pressure
Social pressure was first used as part of a political science study in the Michigan primary election in 2006. It has since been successfully used over the years to increase voter turnout. In that study, a mailing informed recipients that their participation in the election was a matter of public record. That meant that their neighbors would know whether or not they voted. The turnout for that primary increased by nearly 8 percent. As campaigners work on how to increase voter turnout, tactics that make registration more convenient as well as canvassing through in-person contact and through text can be effective ways to drive people to the polls on election day.
