Select Map to see where the households you’ll canvass are located.
Select Households to see a breakdown of your list by address.
Select People to view your list alphabetically.
3. To find your first door, select the green Find My Next Door bar. This will display the three closest un-canvassed houses on your list.
4. Click on the address to see the name and demographic information of the voters at that household.
5. Click on the voter to view your script. If you speak with the voter, record the results of your conversation using the buttons and options in the script. If you did not speak with the voter, toggle to N for no at the top of the script and record the reason why.
6. Mark voters as “Not Home” from the address view with a swipe right on the voter’s name for Apple devices or press and hold the bar with the voter’s name on Android. You can also mark the voter Not Home from the Script page by toggling to N for no and recording the reason why.
After your entry, return to the map or household view. Go to the next address and repeat the process. Remember to sync your data by selecting the circular arrow icons on the top righthand side of each page or by selecting Sync on the Menu.
