Accessible voter file
Turf cut your voter file
NationBuilder comes with access to high-quality voter data for your campaign, whether you're running for school board, Congress or state office. Use the voter file for email outreach, phone banking and door-to-door canvassing and identify likely voters by filtering voting history. Our file allows you to search by demographic detail and registration type, and add-ons are available with donor modelling and social intelligence. Use our easy turf cutter to map target voters and print walk lists. NationBuilder has a data entry mode for quickly entering results of face-to-face and phone contacts, and online tools for phone voter and donor list outreach from the campaign office or home. State-level data comes free with a basic subscription, and we've made it easy to upload your own custom files. If you need help uploading a custom file, we can do that too, for a $500 one-time fee.
