Before you knock doors, make sure you know your campaign’s win number and path to victory. This is the number of voters you need to cast their ballots for you on election day in order to win. You can learn more about how to calculate your campaign’s win number here.

Before knocking on doors, it is important to strategize which voters you will be contacting. We call this targeting. In a nutshell, you will be using your chosen method to narrow down your voters to just the ones you need to talk to in order to win (a part of your win number). In theory, this means you will know whose door you are knocking before they even answer the door! Targeting is important because it:
Makes sure you are talking to the right person
Keeps you from wasting time and resources
Keeps you and your team safe
There are a number of tools you can use to target your voter list for door knocking.
