Hyper-Local Voter Contact Database & Door Knock Routing Service

A managed service that combines publicly available voter rolls, census data, and social listening to build a district-specific contact list ranked by persuadability and likelihood to vote. The service then coordinates and tracks door-knock campaigns by connecting candidates with local volunteers, providing route optimization, real-time feedback collection, and post-visit follow-up automation. Candidates pay per-district per-cycle; the service handles the operational complexity.

Value Proposition

Eliminates the need for candidates to hire expensive consultants or build their own voter data infrastructure. Provides scientifically ranked knock lists (not random) so volunteers hit persuadable voters first. Route optimization saves 20-30% of volunteer time. Real-time feedback (voter concerns, positions, sentiment) feeds directly into messaging. Costs 60-70% less than traditional voter contact consulting.

Target Audience

State house candidates in competitive districts (especially challengers and open-seat races), campaign managers, local party organizations

Key Features

  • Voter persuadability scoring (using public data: prior voting patterns, registration length, neighborhood demographics, online sentiment)
  • Mobile app for door-knockers with pre-loaded voter info, talking points, and one-tap feedback logging
  • Route optimization algorithm that minimizes travel time and clusters high-persuadability voters
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Voter data APIs (L2, Catalist, or local election board data access) Routific or similar route optimization library React Native or Flutter for mobile app (iOS/Android) PostgreSQL for voter database and feedback logs

Original Problem

Local political candidates struggle to build name recognition and voter awareness in state house races

State house candidates like Vollrath face an uphill battle gaining visibility against incumbents in low-information local elections where most voters are unaware of challengers or their positions. Traditional campaign methods are expensive and inefficient, and candidates lack affordable tools to reach and persuade voters in their specific districts before election day.
