    Sample Phone Call Script


    Hello, may I speak to (full name)?

    My name is ________ and I am calling on behalf of the Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote 2008 program.
    We are a non-partisan organization promoting AAPIs to vote.

    We are calling to remind you to please vote on ______________.

    Additional questions
    • Do you or any member of you household need assistance getting to the polls on Election Day?
    • Do you or any member of your household need help (language assistance) in voting?
    • Do you know where you local polling site is?

    By the end of phone conversation you should ask “Can I count on you to vote on Nov 4?” and
    get a confirmation.

    Tips and Suggestions for Phone Callers

    • Smile while you’re talking on the phone (they can tell).


    • Speak only to the person whose names appear on the list.
    • Read the script over several times before calling so that you sound more natural, not like you’re reading a
    script.
    • Follow the script. Do not get involved in long discussions or arguments. It’ll waste time from all the other
    people you can confirm to vote on Election Day.
    • Make calls in order of the list. Keep track of the responses. When you have finished a sheet, place calls again
    to people who you missed. These situations count as a miss, so hang up the phone and make no marks on
    your contact sheet:
    o If the phone rings four times with no answer
    o If you get a busy signal
    o If a small child answer and doesn’t understand quickly that you want to talk with an adult
    • If you get a wrong or disconnected number, only cross out the phone number.
    • On election day – if the response is “they have voted” cross them off completely.
