[edit] Political surveys
Are political surveys considered canvassing, such as surveys at county fairs and volunteer or paid telesurveying? If not, where would one add such information? Hyacinth 04:21, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Canvassing on Wikipedia
Canvassing is forbidden on Wikipedia. I think the following should be included in the beginning of the article:

[edit] Canvassing and Petitioning
I am a field canvasser for a non-profit. We have nothing to do with elections, however I do go door-to-door to ensure the political change with a petition. Shouldn't this be represented? (I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly savvy with this whole editing process yet.) KeithWeil 05:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)KeithWeil
[edit] canvassing the ballots
"Canvassing" is also the term commonly used in election statutes with respect to counting the actual ballots. See, e.g., Ohio (ORC Ann. 3505.32) "Canvass of returns". This usage should be distinguished in the article, which is primarily about canvassing as a means of getting voters out. Perhaps it merits a separate article -- canvass (ballots) or ballot canvassing. --Lquilter (talk) 15:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
