Closing the Voter Turnout Gap: A Report on the California Votes Initiative

Tuesday, November 13, 2007 10:00 - 11:00 AM

Which tactics are most effective in turning out ethnic communities on Election Day? Can we significantly increase voting in historically low turnout communities? Can volunteer phonebanks be as effective as door-to-door canvassing? How useful are doorhangers and direct mail?

Find out more from experts and community leaders at a special briefing hosted by The James Irvine Foundation. The briefings will include results from extensive research on minority voter outreach efforts in 2006 that reached more than 80,000 infrequent voters in Southern California and the Central Valley.
