For volunteers
Canvasser Field Kits
Knocking doors for the first time, or running a shift for a dozen people? These two guides cover the door script, what to bring, the rules to follow, and the dates that matter — and each one comes with four printable pieces you can hand out at staging.
Our own guide, with Chesapeake’s specifics filled in: the 2026 slate, the three constitutional amendments, our early voting and Election Day dates, and a door script written to be said out loud. Start here if you are new to knocking.
Four printables included
•
Canvasser checklist — packing list, door script, the rules, key dates and a 16-row door log
•
The same checklist two per page, pocket size for a clipboard
•
Organizer prep sheet — before, day‑of and after, plus a volunteer sign‑out roster
The same guide with the local details left open, for Republicans knocking doors anywhere in the Commonwealth. It starts by pointing you to your own unit committee, your registrar and your local slate. The dates are set by state law and are the same everywhere; hours and locations are set locally.
Four printables included
•
Canvasser checklist — 30-row door log and fill‑in lines for your committee and staging site
•
The same checklist two per page, pocket size for a clipboard
Print from the PDF downloads on each page rather than from the page itself — the printables are built to fit one sheet and go easy on ink. Everything is free to copy and hand out.
A Christian civic engagement initiative helping believers register, weigh candidates against biblical values, and vote. Church toolkits, bulletin inserts, and a candidate evaluation guide for pastors and congregations.
Everything you need on the three constitutional amendments on the November ballot — full text of each amendment, the agenda behind them, and talking points for conversations with friends and neighbors.
Recruits and trains Virginians to serve as Officers of Election and poll observers. Free training, a pocket checklist for every role, and a legal hotline. You need only be 18 and a registered Virginia voter — no experience required.
Register to vote, check that your registration is active, update your address after a move, or request an absentee ballot — all through the Commonwealth’s official citizen portal.
A nonpartisan guide to voting by mail — how the six-step process works, state-by-state deadlines, and answers to the security questions people actually ask. Requesting a mail ballot does not lock you in; you can still vote in person on Election Day.
The Republican Party of Virginia’s governing document. It sets out how committees are formed, how officers are elected, and the rules every mass meeting and convention must follow — including ours here in Chesapeake.
Republicans choose nominees and party leadership at mass meetings, canvasses, and conventions. Each one is announced in advance by an Official Call that lists the date, location, and filing deadline. Watch our calendar and the state party’s events page.
Delegates are the Republicans who actually pick our nominees and our party leadership. Any registered Chesapeake voter can be one. Here is how it works.
1Qualify
Be a registered voter in Chesapeake who is in accord with the principles of the Republican Party. That is the whole eligibility bar — there are no dues or seniority requirements to serve as a delegate.
2Watch for the Official Call
Before every mass meeting or convention, the committee publishes an Official Call. It states the date, time, location, filing deadline, and any filing fee. Nothing else is official until the Call goes out.
3File by the Deadline
Submit the delegate prefiling form named in the Call before the deadline. Some units accept walk-in registration on the day, but prefiling is the only way to guarantee your seat.
4Show Up and Vote
Attend, get certified at credentials, and cast your vote for nominees and party leadership. Delegates are how ordinary Republicans decide who carries our banner in November.
