First, was your canvassing done all on one day?

Second, if so, what day of the week did you do your canvassing?

Third, during what time span in a day did you do your canvassing? 

Fourth, did you use a voter registration list?

Fifth, did you use a proable primary voter list?

Sixth, did you have any literature to leave for people who were not at home?  Door know hangers, etc.

Seventh, was everyone aware of the polling place location?

Eighth, did you have any absentee forms for those who might be unable to get to the polling place?

Ninth, was all the canvassing done in one precinct?

1. yes
2. Saturday
3. 1pm-4pm
4&5. I used what I assume was a list of registered voters who have previously voted in Democratic primaries, voters who have not voted in any recent primaries, or people who have donated to the Obama campaign.
6. Yes, I had a door hanger that I left on all the unanswered doors and gave to all undecided voters.
7. Yes, everyone seemed to be aware of their polling location.  It was also listed on the door hanger.
8. I did not have an absentee form.  I did have information on early voting as well as a sign up list for those needing a ride to the polls.  (no one I talked to needed either)
9. Yes, all the canvassing was in a single precinct.

Good job.

Have you done this before?

Its great as a reality check,

Every time I do canvassing I carefully prepare, but still have butterflies.

Let me guess. You canvass for Democrats? Wink

I canvass for specific candidates,

Generally prefer the primaries, where most elections are decided.

There are a number of conservative Democrats in local elective office, which I helped to nominate/elect.
