Phone banking 不一定跟银行业务有关，最近我们学区的多个教委任期满了，我们的教师工会号召大家去打电话给选民, 为工会支持的几位候选人拉票 - The union is conducting phone banking for our school board recommended candidates.
Phone banking 在这里指通过打电话给选民，为某竞选人拉票。
Phone banking is a common strategy in political campaigns. 现在很多候选人或议案的倡议人靠义工为他们打电话拉票，我们家最近每天都接到不少这类的电话。
bank在这里指助选者打电话时所坐的长书桌或板凳。"Bank" refers to the long desks or benches that the people sit at, using the rows of phones.
