Election Hub for Voters & Volunteers

You can do more than vote to fight for democracy. Help us get out the vote like never before.

Time to Get Out The Vote

We Won't Have Democratic Values if We Don't Elect Democrats

It takes good old-fashioned people power to turn out the vote. Conservative money is pouring into Oregon. When some races are won or lost by as few as 13 votes, you'd better believe your participation can make a difference!

Check out the upcoming volunteer opportunities we've put together. Find the right fit for you!

FAQ

Most volunteers like to know what they are getting into. Here are some of the common questions that we receive from people deciding how to participate.

How does phone banking work these days?

Having conversations with voters is one of the best ways to identify our supporters and make sure people have all the information they need to cast their votes. Phone banks will always start with a training session. We generally work from a list on our computer, making calls with our own cellphone. (Your phone number is usually masked so no worries about middle of the night call backs!) Some phone banks use "predictive dialer" technology, which screens out all the not-home and busy signals, so you can reach many more live voters.

Which candidates need the most help?

What's it like to knock on doors?

The face-to-face voter conversation you have at the door is still the very best tool we have to persuade voters and gain their support. Everyone's a little nervous at first - and once we've talked with one or two voters, it feels completely natural. Some people may not want to talk - and that's ok. You'll always have training to understand the script and your walk list. You'll get a chance to practice too. For extra fun - bring a friend or spouse!

Is there work I could do in an office?

How can I make sure Democrats win?

Every vote counts. We know so many races that are won or lost by less than a dozen votes. Each of us can bring our skills, and our resources to help Democrats win. If you have an hour or an afternoon, you can volunteer for a phonebank or a canvass. Donations big and small give campaigns the fuel to reach more voters. If you can help organize your friends or neighbors to work together - that amplifies the work!
