Overview

The webElect Mobile App gives a campaign the ability to identify targeted voters/households on a map, review information about voters while walking up to knock on a door, and record information obtained in a canvassing conversation all from the convenience of a mobile device while out in the field.

If you have questions about how to download the App or need help troubleshooting, please visit Mobile App Instructions.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Logging In

Accessing a Walk Packet or Walk Target

• On the App Main Menu, click Walk/Canvassing
• You will now see how many Packets are assigned to you and/or how many Targets you have access to.

• Click either Walk Packets or Walk Targets to see a list of each that are available
• Then click on the desired Packet/Target to view its summary page and begin canvassing

NOTE

• If you have been given a printed walk packet, you may enter the packet ID number from the top of the packet.
• If you are walking as a team, you may enter the packet ID number of a packet assigned to a partner.
  
  

Walk Target/Packet Summary

• The summary page shows the number of houses completed and remaining, and lists three ways to view the target/packet: Map Near Me, Map All, and List View
• Map Near Me: Zooms in to your location on the map and displays nearby targeted houses
• Map All: Zooms out on the map to display all of the targeted houses in the target/packet
• List View: Displays the packet as a list, alphabetically by street name, similar to a paper packet (Note: List View is only available for Walk Packets, not for Targets)
  

Canvassing and Entering Data

• On the map, tap on a pin to bring up the address
  

• Tap on the address to show all eligible voters (targeted voters will be in bold at the top of the list)
