Hustle Into Election Day: Accelerating Voter Outreach Through Texting Out The Vote

We are less than 60 days away from the November 3rd Election Day. As we quickly approach such a monumental day in American history, we want to equip progressive organizations and campaigns with everything we can to help them radically transform their voter outreach powered by Hustle. Text Out The Vote (TOTV) is a true testament to the power of peer-to-peer texting. As seen in the 2016 Presidential Election and the 2018 Midterm Election, peer-to-peer text messaging significantly increases voter engagement. Through “Textbanking,” Hustle’s personalized non-invasive campaigns are designed to do the “heavy lifting” when it comes to mobilizing voters in the most uncertain of elections.

What’s Text Out The Vote?

TOTV is a critical addition to traditional voter outreach that places resources and action items in the palm of voters’ hands via texts directly to their device. More and more, people are gravitating to text-based communication as their preferred method. As a complement to traditional mailers, emails, and/or awkward cold calls, TOTV enables progressive groups to send over 1,500–2,000 texts in a single hour, which has been recorded by customers to drive open rates over 90%.
