Recent FEC Guidance Provides New Opportunity for Coordinated Canvassing
Door-to-door canvassing is a time-honored tradition embraced by political campaigns and sales strategists alike, offering a personal touch that resonates with the public. Whether it’s political candidates or, at one time, vacuum cleaner salesmen knocking on your door, these face-to-face interactions are invaluable for education, listening, and fostering civic engagement. Door-to-door canvassing, whether conducted by 501(c)(4)s, political committees, or candidates for public office, is an essential part of any campaign, often offering the added benefit of being fairly cost-effective compared to other voter outreach methods.
