Instructions for Lit Droppers
Please take 5 minutes to review the brief videos and information on this page before you go out to drop lit. Thank you!
Note: The flyers we’re leaving at doors are targeted at left-leaning voters (not persuasion voters). It’s important that we leave the lit at the appropriate doors for our audience – those we’ve identified as likely left-leaning – and to record where we leave the lit so we can track who has received it and who hasn’t.
STEP 1: Watch these brief training videos (~3 min)
Video 1: Guide for judicial Lit Droppers
Important Highlights:
Do not leave lit in mailboxes. It’s not legal!
Only leave lit at the doors on your list. The specific flyers we're leaving are targeted to left-leaning voters.
Make sure you record in the app every door where you leave lit so we know which households have received it and which haven't.
Do not leave any other literature other than the one page flyer we have given you. We cannot commingle our lit with party or candidate lit.
BONUS TIP: Leave the red side of the lit up! It's much more effective at increasing turnout than the candidate info side.
Video 2: Guide to Using the MiniVAN App for Lit Droppers
You can download the MiniVAN app for iPhone/iPad or Android.
Note: For this campaign, to make it easier to record the data, we have only included one voter per household, even if more than one voter is on our target list.
BONUS TIP: In MiniVAN, you can sort by odd and even house numbers to make it easier to hit one side of the street and then the other.
STEP 2: Get your lit and your turf number(s)
After you sign up for lit drop, you’ll receive an email with the turf number you’ll enter into MiniVAN to get your voter list and instructions for getting your lit (the flyers we’re distributing). If you have any questions, email Amy at amy@flipnc.org.
STEP 3: Leave the lit at the doors on your list whenever it works for you!
If you love lit drop and want to do it regularly, just let us know and we’ll send you a box of lit and a set of turfs to complete as it’s convenient for you. Do as much or as little as you like – every bit helps!
