> My tentative thought is to change the "sent a postcard etc" to "contacted an elected official or government agency (by postcard, email, etc.)"
I like that idea. It makes it much clearer what the item is getting at. (Your inclusion of "or government agency" also allows space for things like "submitted written public comment;" nice.)
Since there are already "called [a government official]" items, maybe "contacted an elected official or government agency in writing (by postcard, email, etc.)"

I like the idea of keeping GOTV work and "worked for a campaign" as separate. GOTV work is often for a specific candidate, but e.g. Center for Common Ground/Reclaim Our Vote is currently doing postcarding for the Virginia State Primary -- so definitely not with a specific candidate's campaign.
