]]> Why Postcards? Why Vote by Mail? https://thirdact.org/resources/why-postcards-why-vote-by-mail-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-postcards-why-vote-by-mail-2 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 18:09:57 +0000 https://thirdact.org/?post_type=resources&p=4166 Research shows that postcards are an effective way to increase voter turnout and engagement when messages are personal, emphasize civic duty, and highlight the importance of making one’s voice heard. Drawing from the research, low-tech postcards are a key part of the voter engagement mix, as not everyone picks up the phone or answers the door. In fact, in Virginia, one study found that postcards increased turnout by 0.4 percent (a typical get-out-the-vote, or GOTV, canvass increases turnout by 0.3 percent) and concluded that the postcards had as good or better effect on voter turnout as going door to door.

While these increases may seem small, they are significant! Especially in tight races or elections with low voter turnout such as primaries or off-year elections, where the outcome can be decided by just a handful of votes.

Mail voting is a convenient, safe, and secure method of voting that is crucial for ensuring high turnout, especially among older Americans: it saves time, transportation, and Covid and other exposures, as well as allowing more time to consider the issues and candidates.
