It's time to canvass! Whether you're collecting signatures for an initiative or just want to recruit some new volunteers, our Clipboard Kit has some of the basics you'll need to get on your feet and starting talking to people.

If you're collecting signatures for a ballot initiative, be sure to talk to your field coordinator so you have all the correct materials and training you're legally required to. You can find some generic resources in the Clipboard Kit Google Drive Folder or in the previews below. For mini-zines, you can either order them from our shop or, if you need a ton, make them yourself using the instructions on this page.

Before you head out, put a copy of each of these sheets on your clipboard and bring plenty of pens to use and mini-zines to give away!

Email List and Sign-Up Sheet
It's good to use a sign-up sheet that already has a few rows filled out so people feel they're not alone when writing down their info. You can keep track of who's already been entered by drawing a vertical line to the left of those rows. Alternatively, folks can always sign up at starvoting.us/join if they prefer.
