At Voter Gravity we’re all about making campaigns faster and more efficient. Using technology, we’re always looking for new ways to streamline campaign management and operation. We’re excited about our volunteer tracking system which allows campaigns to keep track of metrics for each volunteer. Here’s how it works:

Each volunteer is given a unique log in. When tasks, such as walk lists and call lists, they get an email, letting them know that they have been assigned tasks. They can then go to voter.mobi and log in using their personal username. When they complete their tasks, the data is uploaded into the database, which then keeps track of all information uploaded from a unique user.

With this system in place, campaigns can maximize a volunteer’s time. View how regularly they turn in results and adjust their tasks accordingly. If one of your volunteers is very efficient on phones, but not at going door-to-door, you know what to do next.

In addition to data on your volunteers, tracking their activities gives you insight into the responsive and unresponsive areas in your district.  Let’s say, for example, that you have a volunteer that consistently turned in good results, but on this particular day he/she was working in a new region and turned in very poor results. This probably is possibly not an indicator of the quality of the volunteers work, but of a less responsive area, or a bad time of day, etc.

We love the ability to do all of this in real time. If you see that a particular volunteer is not having any success making contacts in a particular area, you can change them to a location where another volunteer is having greater success. You can also view when volunteers are beginning to run low on lists, and assign or create more for them before they run out. This kind of real time control places the efficiency of campaign operations on a whole new level.

Good luck!
