Consider paid phone calls for VBM Chase.
If you are a serious contender for public office you should strongly consider paid phones for your VBM Chase program.
If you don’t have a large army of well-trained volunteers that can make your calls and walk precincts, give serious consideration to a paid phone program.
Paid phones, if you go with a reputable vendor like RTBurns, can provide you with professional callers who are well trained.
Texting is also an option, however contracting voters with a real life caller can give you a lot of voter identifications really fast.
And, they can also follow up with your identified voters for you if you do not have the volunteer resources to do it all yourself.
For these callers, your campaign is not their first rodeo.
They know the drill. They know how to talk to voters. They are efficient, productive, and well supervised.
A live phone paid operation can definitely take much of the burden of a necessary VBM chase program off the shoulders of your campaign.
Do your VBM Chase up to Election Day
Once you identify your Vote By Mail supporters, you must make sure they vote.
This includes chasing them on Election Day if they haven’t returned their ballots yet.
Some people will lose their ballots and your volunteers or campaign workers need to have instructions for them available on what their options are – check with your local election officials and find out exactly what a voter must do to get a replacement ballot.
Many voters will not return their ballots until the very end of the campaign cycle.
Your supporters need to get their ballots in even if its on Election Day.
Each state has different rules on where ballots can be dropped off, who can/can’t bring them in for the voters, and when the ballot must be received or postmarked to be considered valid.
Again, check with your local election authorities and make certain you know the rules on turning in absentee ballots before you get started on your chase program and certainly before you tell the voters anything.
VBM chase can actually be fun but it does take a lot of discipline, tenacity, organization, and just hard work.
In a year when a lot more people will be voting by mail than usual, every candidate that is serious about winning must have a solid VBM Chase program as part of their campaign.
