Progressive Turnout Project is the largest voter contact organization in the country, specifically dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic Party and defending democracy. Our mission: rally Democrats to vote.
The process to become a remote Door Knocker is simple and involves four steps:
Upon completing an application, you’ll be invited to conduct a brief virtual screening with a member of our team. If you are invited to knock doors with PTP following your screening, you’ll be asked to complete a criminal background check, and a member of our team will walk you through the online paperwork process.
Once you have been offered a contract as a remote Door Knocker as an independent contractor, you’ll be asked to complete an online briefing that will provide you with best practices for successful door knocking and ensure you have a full working knowledge of the MiniVAN phone application, which is used by all of our Door Knockers.
Finally, you’ll receive a package with all of your door knocking materials sent directly to your home or residence and will be assigned door knocking turf in your local area. You’re ready to knock on doors! Please note that you choose when you knock doors–you can complete your turf all at once, which should take approximately three to four hours, or you can spread it across a few days. All that matters is that you knock on all the households in your packet and correctly enter your data.
If you need help or have any questions, join our Office Hours Google Meet to talk to one of our team members. Office Hours are held Monday thru Sunday from 9:30am-5:00pm CT. All door knockers are welcome to join our daily office hours.

All remote Door Knockers are engaged as independent contractors and paid based on completing each canvassing turf. Door Knockers are free to set their own schedules and work at their own pace. If a Door Knocker successfully completes their first turf and accurately enters all of their data, they’ll be eligible to canvass additional turf packets through Election Day on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
