canvassing
Canvassing is a systematic method generally employed in the political field where campaigners or volunteers interact directly with people, aiming to persuade individuals to vote, gain their support, or gather information. This can include door-to-door visits, phone calls, emails, or public events. It can also be used in commercial contexts, where salespeople solicit potential customers for business.

Canvassing
Canvassing is the systematic initiation of direct contact with a target group of individuals commonly used during political campaigns. A campaign team will knock on doors of private residences within a particular geographic area, engaging in face-to-face personal interaction with voters. Canvassing may also be performed by telephone, where it is referred to as telephone canvassing. The main purpose of canvassing is to perform voter identification – to poll how individuals are planning to vote – rather than to argue with or persuade voters. This preparation is an integral part of a 'get out the vote' operation, in which known supporters are contacted on polling day and reminded to cast their ballot.
