Weekly and Daily Goals Worksheet - Persuasion & GOTV

This worksheet helps calculate the resources and hours needed for canvassing and phone banking to meet your persuasion and GOTV goals. By entering campaign-specific data, like average door attempts and call attempts per hour, it will estimate the number of hours required to reach your target voters. It includes both weekly and daily goals to ensure you're on track to reach your persuasion phase and effectively prepare for voter turnout efforts.

The formulas built into this sheet account for the fact that you’ll have to knock on a lot of doors more than once, and call many numbers multiple times. These estimates are conservative, and might be unrealistic at the start of a campaign while building a volunteer base. But if these numbers are built over time, the campaign will be ready when it comes time to turn out voters.
