GOTV programs

Get-out-the-vote programs for campaigns and organizations

Turn supporters into voters. We match your voter file, reach the people least likely to show up on their TVs, feeds and phones, and measure the result in votes, not impressions.

We report votes, not impressions.

Before launch, a random share of your voters is held out of paid contact. After the election, we compare official vote history for the voters we reached with the holdout. The difference is the turnout your program added.

  • A randomized holdout and a turnout-lift report from official vote history

How it works

  1. 1.

    Match the file

    We match your voter file to households, devices and phones, and set aside a random holdout before anything runs.

  2. 2.

    Segment by need

    Sporadic and newly registered voters get the most contact. Reliable voters get a light touch.

  3. 3.

    Run every screen

    CTV in the living room, digital ads in the feed and texts in waves around early voting, the final days and Election Day.

  4. 4.

    Measure the lift

    Once states post vote history, we compare turnout among the voters we reached with the holdout and report the difference.

Why Molitico

Votes, not impressions

The holdout lets you show funders and the press how many more people voted because of the program.

One team, one message

The same team writes the video, buys the media and sends the texts, so the program speaks with one voice.

Nonpartisan when it needs to be

For 501(c)(3) organizations, no candidate, party or ballot measure is named, and audiences are chosen by community, never by party.
