2024 NOVEMBER ELECTION
Get Out the Vote
Blockwalk
Knocking on doors is still the most effective way to get out the vote!
Having a person to person conversation is the best way to remind someone about the upcoming elections. We knock on doors because we can update voters about early and election day locations, combat myths and misinformation, and tell our personal reason why we're supporting Democrats in November.
Volunteers worry about not having all the information about a policy position or that people will be rude at the doors, however, that's far from the truth - most people just need that reminder and we live in El Paso - we are some of the nicest communities around!

What do I need to blockwalk?
Simply - you need some good walking shoes and dress conformably. Also we use an app called minivan where you digitalize your list and the data comes back to us in real time. To learn how to use minivan, watch this video.
What if I can walk during the week?
That's awesome! Here's what you can do:
1) Contact us at field@elpasodemocrats.com or call 915-600-5040 and we can send you a list to download into minivan and make a plan to get you the materials.
Phonebank
Reach out to voters though phone calls - in a new, updated way!
While in-person to person conversations are the best way to convince someone, phonebanking is just as good!

What do I need to phonebank?
All you need is your cellphone, however, you can use your laptop or tablet to make these dials.
If we use an automatic dialer system, you will use your phone as the microphone for the calls and use your browser window where you will see the person who has answered the phone.
When someone answers, you will hear a beep and the screen will change with the person's name and information and you will mark the answers from there.
Also when you log into the dialer, you can use the "preview script" option to view the script before you start making dials.
Other GOTV Activities
We have a lot of other roles how you can help to get out the vote!
Use our "Friends and Family" Reach App by Blue Action Texas
Blue Action Texas has this awesome relational organizing app called "Reach" where you can add your friends, co-workers, family to your circle and remind them to vote. What you will be able to do is add them into the app and send messages to them and during early voting, if they have not gone to the polls, Reach will send you a message that they have note voted yet.
Fill out our volunteer form and check "Remind my Friends and Family to vote" and we'll send your contact info to their local organizer.
Help us with our Voter Protection Committee
There is a lot at stake in this election and protecting the vote is one of them. Though our Voter Protection committee, you can do one of the following:
-
Assist with our voter protection hotline by answering the line when a voter calls about a question or a concern.
-
Become one of our election judges and clerks during Election Day.
-
Sign to be a poll watcher in case we need to send an observer during Election Day at a polling site.
Visit our Voter Protection page to sign up for one of these options.
Volunteer at the office to answer calls and other office duties
Our office is ran by volunteers and we need help every day answering phones, creating our walk packets, or running errands for the party.
Contact us to sign up for a date and time you can join us at the office.
Donate
We cannot get out the vote without resources to print materials, send mail, and our textbank and phonebank programs all have a cost.
Consider making a donation to the El Paso Democratic Party to help us reach out to more voters.
