WINVOTES VOLUNTEER PHONE BANKER

Is a Web-based program designed to support campaign managers and volunteers in executing well organized voter calling efforts, those efforts that often decide the outcome of an election. The program is designed to meet the needs of two groups of users: Managers and Volunteers.

· All that is needed is an internet connection and a computer.

· Each Manager and Volunteer has his or her own unique user name and password to enter the site with the appropriate rights and permissions for use.

· Initially the programs loads 15 voters from the assigned call list. As the volunteer completes a call and marks it completed, additional voters are automatically loaded into the call list.

· A PDF of the campaign voter data is available for printing and assigning to walkers/volunteers without a computer.

· A Campaign can produce multiple campaign programs, assigning different volunteers to each campaign.

· A Manager can have as many volunteers as they can adequately handle.

· In addition to overseeing volunteers, a Manager can turn on or off his or her own calling list.
