(the canvasser) will turn the ballot in for the voter? This recently happened to a friend of mine. The request from the GOTV canvasser was unsolicited, and it made her very uncomfortable.

Do not yield your ballot to anyone but the post office or ballot box/poll worker. Whoever sought a ballot was committing a felony.

Even if the canvasser has the best of intentions and is trying to be helpful, this will invalidate the vote.
All states have different rules: know what your state's are. Even if it were allowed, I wouldn't trust a stranger to deliver my ballot.
