From Engagement to Election Day: How GOTV Campaigns Turn Supporters Into Voters

You’ve spent the year driving engagement. Supporters are signing petitions, taking action, and opening your emails. But when Election Day comes, even your most active advocates don’t always make it to the polls.

The problem isn’t motivation. It’s execution.

Quorum’s new Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Campaigns help you turn that engagement into turnout. With a single, branded campaign experience, supporters can register, find their ballot, and make a plan to vote—all in one place, with no external handoffs or visibility gaps. Whether you’re upgrading from a legacy solution or launching your first GOTV effort, these campaigns are designed to simplify execution and maximize impact.

Why Most GOTV Efforts Fail (and What You Can Do About It)

Most organizations already “do” GOTV. But fragmented tools, inconsistent data, and clunky voter flows make it hard to know whether those efforts are actually driving turnout.

Let’s break down why—and how to fix it:

The Data Blackout

You may know who clicked an email, but that signal alone doesn’t tell you whether a supporter is truly prepared to vote. When GOTV efforts rely on external links or third-party tools, teams lose clarity once supporters click away and are left making assumptions about what happened next. GOTV Campaigns reduce that uncertainty by keeping voter information and next steps inside a single, branded campaign experience. The result is cleaner execution and greater confidence that engagement is moving supporters closer to Election Day.

The Logistics Trap

Voting rules vary by state and, in some cases, by county. When supporters are sent to generic or external resources, confusion increases, drop-off rises, and critical deadlines are often missed. GOTV Campaigns bring the right voter information into one place, personalized by location, so no one has to navigate complex rules on their own.

The Urgency Gap

Reminders go out, but without knowing who has already taken action. That means teams risk under-messaging supporters who need help and over-messaging those who are already prepared, creating ‘inbox fatigue’ for your best advocates while missing those who actually need a nudge. With real-time engagement data, GOTV Campaigns help you time your outreach more precisely and focus your energy where it’s needed most.

What GOTV Campaigns Look Like in Quorum

GOTV Campaigns live inside the Quorum Grassroots Action Center, right alongside your other advocacy campaigns. That means you can launch, track, and optimize GOTV efforts with no new tools or setup required.

Here’s what you get:

1. Voter Registration Verification

Supporters can confirm their voter registration status right inside your campaign. No guessing, no external forms.

Why it matters: You see exactly who’s ready to vote and who may need a follow-up before deadlines hit.

2. Personalized Ballot & Polling Info

No more dead-end links. Supporters can look up their local candidates and elected officials based on their address, right in your campaign.

Why it matters: You reduce confusion and increase voter confidence, especially for first-time voters or those mobilizing across multiple states.

3. State-Aware Voting Deadlines

Key election dates, registration deadlines, and early voting windows automatically adjust based on the supporter’s location.

Why it matters: No more generic last-minute reminders. You create urgency where it matters most.

4. Actionable Insights from Advocate Behavior

GOTV Campaigns capture core participation signals, including campaign visits and voter registration actions—both online and by mail. These indicators give teams a clearer picture of which supporters are engaging with the voting process, without relying on assumptions or anecdotal feedback.

Why it matters: Instead of treating all supporters the same, teams can use concrete participation signals to guide follow-up and focus effort where it’s most likely to make a difference.

Integrated, Not Add-On: The Advantage of Quorum GOTV

Because GOTV Campaigns live inside your broader advocacy workflow, you get more than a voter tool—you get a complete turnout strategy:

• Track turnout readiness alongside your existing engagement metrics
• Launch full campaigns in minutes using a guided, state-aware builder
• Keep everything compliant and nonpartisan, right out of the box
• Report with confidence using built-in analytics tied to real supporter actions

No stitching together disconnected vendors. No guessing what worked.

From Participation to Power

Elections don’t offer second chances. Deadlines pass. Opportunities disappear. That’s why GOTV Campaigns are built to guide your supporters through the entire process—clearly, confidently, and without friction.

If your organization is already investing in engagement, it’s time to make sure that energy leads to turnout.
