This partnership allows us to engage with voters by expanding a commit to vote campaign. We ask the voter to encourage three of their friends to vote, allowing us to reach more prospective voters and follow up with them about their voting plan and holding their friends accountable.
These are usually non-partisan programs, so we’re looking to involve voters from all political ideologies.

We want to make sure that we are following the workflow carefully in VoteTripling Programs.
Why should we avoid going off script? - It is important in VoteTripling programs to stick as closely to the mini scripts available and avoid going off script! Since we will be texting on behalf of a VoteTripling organization, it is important that we are not sharing information that has not been specifically shared with us by the organization itself. This could get us into legal trouble.
It is also important to stay on script, since these are non-partisan programs, we are representing non-partisan beliefs, and cannot use partisan language, or mark voters we interact with, using partisan bias.
What do I do if I cannot find a RR that fits the conversation?- You can always ask in text-here if you cannot find an RR that fits a conversation!

What does texting in a Non-Partisan program look like?
What does a ‘Non- Partisan’ campaign mean? - Texting in a Non-partisan campaign means that we are reaching out to voters with all political ideologies. This means that regardless of a voters political stance, or who they may be voting for, we will be engaging with them to find out their voting habits and encouraging them to Get Out The Vote.
How to use the “Opposed” RR- If someone gives a partisan reply for campaign, that doesn’t mean they are opposed! If someone says they are voting for Trump or Biden (or any candidate), you can just send the recommended reply for in-person voting. This is a nonpartisan campaign.
