Campaign voter file

A campaign voter file workflow without spreadsheet overhead.

The voter file is most useful when it becomes a repeatable workflow: define a universe, inspect the signal, work the voter list, and keep the refresh date visible.

Request California access review Review California requirements

California voter-data upload, import, and activation are hard-stopped until the customer, source, viewers, agency acceptance, notice/security handoff, and security evidence are approved. Do not upload or email a voter file with this request.

California access review is required before upload.

The platform activation bundle is available, but each campaign still requires customer, source, viewer, permitted-use, and workspace approval before voter data can be uploaded or opened.

From file to field plan

VoterFile is designed around campaign operators who need a practical bridge from the California voter file to a working field plan. The interface centers on filters, list quality, explainable signals, voter CRM, canvass mode, and fast outreach handoff.

  • Build universes by geography, party, turnout, and propensity
  • Compare segments before sending volunteers or mail
  • Track support, notes, survey answers, and contact status on the voter record
  • Run walk packets, canvass mode, email send, or CSV handoff for field, mail, SMS, and phone systems

Refresh-aware operations

A stale voter file can waste field time. VoterFile surfaces the file-refresh date so teams can decide when a list is ready to use and when it needs to be updated from the source file.

California access status

Complete California access review before any file upload.

Submit the campaign, requester, issuing source, viewer list, geography, and intended use. VoterFile does not open upload, import, browse, export, or voter-level modeled output until the California activation checklist is complete.

Questions

Do I need a technical consultant to start?

The goal is no. Private beta onboarding verifies eligibility and helps teams load the file, then the campaign can work through the browser.

Is this a CRM?

It includes voter CRM and campaign operations: notes, support status, survey responses, canvassing, and outreach. Fundraising, event management, and website publishing remain adjacent categories that can connect to the campaign's voter workflow.
