Canvassing as a strategy to reach potential supporters has a long history. In the Roman Republic, candidates would introduce themselves to individuals at the Forum and attempt to gain their political support. In Elizabethan-era England, candidates sought to determine whether they had enough votes to win before announcing interest in a Parliament seat. Canvassing thus served as an indicator of whether or not a candidate had enough support to continue running; if they did not secure enough votes, they would drop out.
In the United States, an extremely low voter turnout in 1996 led to studies on the effects of canvassing. Now seen as an important political tool, canvassing has become more widely practiced since the early 2000s.
