Running for sheriff, county judge, or county commissioner? CanvassLite gives you the same door-to-door tools that statewide campaigns use — without the price tag, the party infrastructure, or the setup headaches.
Most canvassing software is built for statewide races with large budgets and party support. County candidates get stuck with clipboards and spreadsheets.
Party-controlled voter databases require party approval. Nonpartisan and independent candidates are locked out of the tools that major campaigns take for granted.
Download your county voter file from the election office, export it as CSV, and import it directly. Works with any format, any party, any state. No gatekeepers.
Printing lists, writing notes by hand, and entering data into spreadsheets after each canvass day. Half the data gets lost before it's useful.
Every volunteer opens the app and sees their assigned addresses on a map. Tap a pin, log the visit, move to the next door. Data syncs in real time.
Most political canvassing platforms charge thousands per month. A sheriff candidate with a $10,000 total budget can't justify that.
One payment covers your entire election cycle. 10,000 addresses, 15 volunteers, every feature included. No monthly bills, no surprise charges.
All political features are included in every plan. No add-ons, no upgrades.
Score voters at the door on a 1–5 scale. See score distributions by precinct in your analytics dashboard.
See every door color-coded by status. Draw turf boundaries and assign territories to your volunteers.
Record each voter's top concern — public safety, budget, community policing, jail conditions. See which issues dominate each precinct.
Load scripts on your volunteers' phones. Candidate name auto-fills. Create different scripts for persuasion vs GOTV.
Track yard sign requests and deliveries per household. See totals on your dashboard and never miss a placement.
Real-time voted/not-voted tracking on Election Day. Focus your GOTV effort on supporters who haven't voted yet.
One tap to calculate the shortest path through your assigned doors. Numbered stops and visual route minimize time between houses.
Rural county with spotty cell service? Log visits offline. Everything syncs automatically when signal returns.
Generate printable walk lists filtered by precinct or volunteer. For team members who prefer paper over phones.
Request your county voter file from the election office or secretary of state. Most states provide this as a CSV or Excel file for a small fee.
Sign up, create your campaign, and upload your voter file. CanvassLite auto-maps columns and geocodes addresses.
Draw territory boundaries on the map and assign them to yourself or your volunteers. Set up your knock script and issue categories.
Share an invite link with your volunteers. They open the app on their phone, see their assigned doors on a map, and start canvassing.
CanvassLite works for any local or county-level campaign that relies on door-to-door voter contact.
The cornerstone county race. Track voter support on public safety, staffing, community policing, and jail management issues.
Judicial races depend on name recognition. Canvassing builds the face-to-face connections that win retention elections.
District-based races where every precinct matters. Track voter sentiment on roads, budgets, zoning, and development.
Prosecutorial races where public safety and reform are top concerns. Record voter priorities at every door.
Low-turnout races decided by a few hundred votes. Door-to-door contact is the single most impactful tactic.
Municipal races where knowing your neighbors wins elections. Track support block by block across your district.
Every plan includes all features. No add-ons, no feature gates. Start free for 14 days.
Yes. CanvassLite is completely independent of any political party. You don't need VAN access, i360 access, or any party infrastructure. Import your voter file directly and you're ready to go. Works for nonpartisan, independent, Republican, Democrat, and third-party campaigns.
Contact your county election office or secretary of state. Most states sell voter files to candidates for a nominal fee ($5–$50). You'll receive a CSV or Excel file with voter names, addresses, party registration, and vote history. Import that file directly into CanvassLite.
Absolutely. Many sheriff candidates canvass solo or with just a spouse. Create your campaign, import your voter file, and use the app on your own phone. You'll still get the map view, route optimization, and voter tracking — you just won't need the team management features.
Yes. CanvassLite works offline. When you lose cell signal, your visits are saved locally on your phone. When signal returns, everything syncs automatically. This is critical for rural counties where cell coverage is spotty.
VAN is controlled by the Democratic Party and requires party approval to access. i360 is the Republican equivalent. CanvassLite is independent — you import your own voter file and own your data. Setup takes 10 minutes instead of days, and pricing starts at $99/month instead of thousands.
The Season Pass is a one-time payment of $399 that gives you 12 months of full access. No monthly bills, no recurring charges. It's designed for campaigns with a fixed election cycle. Pay once, use it through your primary and general elections.
Yes. CanvassLite is a web app — your volunteers open a link in their phone's browser. No app store download, no account creation. They join with their name and an invite code, and they're in the field in under 2 minutes.
