About Trick or Vote 

Trick or Vote is a massive costumed get-out-the-vote canvass that happens on and around Halloween, just a few days before the general election. Volunteers trick-or-vote, knocking on thousands doors, reminding people to vote instead of asking for candy. Studies show that face-to-face contact is the single most effective method to boost voter turnout—increasing participation by as much as 8–12%.

This year, as a collaborative endeavor with 25 participating groups, Trick or Vote will be in over 20 cities and will distribute voter guides and vote reminders in what will be the nation’s largest non-partisan get-out-the-vote canvass. Our collective efforts aim to knock on over 100,000 doors and engage thousands of volunteers.
