See the MiniVAN Canvasser Guide for
volunteer instructions.
On the homepage of VoteBuilder, under the My Voters
tab, select Create a New List.
Next, narrow your search using the Location, Location
District, Address Types, and any other criteria drop down
fields. If the turf is too dense or not dense enough, you can
come back to this step later to add or remove additional
criteria.
Enter the location for your list.
Note: You must choose a county for the
precinct drop down to appear.
Under Address Types, select Walkable Houses, Buildings
w/ Approx, and enter 3.
Note: Using up to 3 units is a good rule of thumb to include
duplexes but prevent sending volunteers to larger apartment
buildings. You can adjust this to better fit your turf if needed.
After you enter your search criteria, click Run Search to
create your list.
After you are satisfied with your list, you will want to cut turf
to plan which doors to knock. To do this, click the Cut Turf
icon above your generated list.
You will be shown a map of the doors represented in your list.
Create a polygon around the areas you want to door knock by
clicking to form a perimeter. You can create as many areas as
you need. When you are finished, click Save & Finish.
Save your cut turf in a folder.
Next, you will be brought to the folder. From here, you can
print your list and create canvassing forms. Click Print
Region to save a PDF file of your list and a script for
volunteers
On the printing screen, choose your report format, script, and
contact method.
You can also uncheck Print People if volunteers will not be
canvassing using paper lists. This will only print out maps with
list numbers for MiniVAN users.
Click My PDF Files to be brought to your completed list.
The first page of your PDF will have a list of the turfs you have
cut and their corresponding list numbers. Give the these list
numbers to your volunteers to enter into their MiniVAN Touch
App for canvassing.
List numbers can also be found in the bottom left corner of
maps.
After your volunteers are done canvassing and have synced
their results from the app to the VAN, you can click on
MiniVAN to review and upload those results.
If all of the data looks correct, you can click Commit to upload
it to the VAN.
