people > location > home billing work etc

What's the logic of having so many options for a person's street address (home, billing, work, mailing, facebook, twitter, voting districts)?

Twitter is marked as primary, so default, how come? Can we change that default?

Can one automatically fill other options from the default option?

If my "nation" is all from Ottawa, Canada can I have either the City or Country field auto-populate to those values?

Can we change "state" to "province"? can we hide "county"?

The variety of address data points allow you to target supporters or voters differently based upon the campaign. Primary address is assigned to the first valid address submitted by the user. Yes, read more about importing data and mapping data fields at: http://nationbuilder.com/what_fields_are_available_for_imports . The term “state” is hard coded in NationBuilder’s software and can not be changed. The same goes for hiding the “county” field in the software.

If you want to learn more about which addresses are used where, check out  What addresses are available in each import?

    How can you change which location address is the primary? I don’t see a way of doing that like you can with email addresses. If the first address entered by the user defaults to the primary, does that mean you have to delete all except the intended primary and then re-enter the others?
