1. Mohanty, Peter."Why Does Canvassing Work?" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the MPSA Annual National Conference, Palmer House Hotel, Hilton, Chicago, IL, Apr 03, 2008 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p266368_index.html>
Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Many authors have shown that canvassing is effective at increasing voter turnout, but without saying why.
