The first step in any campaign is to know your voter.
The campaigns that win the field are the ones who start building their list of supporters and volunteers before qualifying even opens, not after. The South Dakota voter file is already loaded in Motion51.
The real voter file
Your district's actual registered voters (names, addresses, party, and vote history), ready to filter into a walk list.
Turf you can walk
Split a map into sensible, door-to-door routes in a couple of clicks, and hand each volunteer their own.
An app for the field
Volunteers knock, log responses, and it all syncs, even when the phone drops signal at the door.
