Reasons to Put VoterAccess to Work in Your Campaign

bullet Advanced Query-By-Form Technology provides users with the ability to target highly specific voter profiles with a very limited knowledge of how a database works. All the SQL (Structured Query Language) is automatically generated. VoterAccess displays lists revealing all possible choices a user can make, enabling any query to be created without typing a single keystroke.
bullet Comprehensive On-line Statistics are displayed while selecting Where Criteria so that informed choices can be made. Precincts/Ward, Zip Codes, and Cities in the Voter database can be prioritized based on any of the over 30 statistics provided. Totals for any combination of selected areas are instantly displayed.
bullet Analytical Reports provide even more detailed statistics at the Precinct/Ward level, showing a rich set of demographic and voter propensity data. The reports are based on the specific profile you have selected, not just the overall file.
bullet Any Combination of Demographic Criteria can be selected. Who Criteria include Sex/Marital Status, Age, Party, and Address Type/Location, Voters/Household, Phone Number, and Ethnic Groups.
bullet Unparalleled Power for Targeting Specific Voter Histories. Custom Histories are selected simply by clicking on the desired elections from the Elections list and then indicating the minimum and maximum of these elections in which a voter must have voted to quality. In addition all combinations of votes cast from 5 of 5 on down are pre-tested and listed in an easy-to-use multi-select list of 'Propensity Rankings'.
bullet Saved Queries Can Be Combined Like Building Blocks. Users can create any number of profiles based on Who Criteria, Where Criteria & Voter History, and then quickly combine them as needed. For example, a user could combine a voting propensity profile with some Where criteria to generate some Walk Lists, and then use the profile again by adding the requirement that all records have phone numbers to generate call lists.
bullet Automatic Duplicate Elimination. VoterAccess automatically eliminates duplicates between any number of profiles you combine. In addition, VoterAccess enables you to update the times a record has been used on a household basis, giving you the option to eliminate duplicate mailings to houses when family members qualify under different sets of criteria.
bullet Flexible Record & Report Selection Options enable any profile to be used with any report with a few clicks of the mouse. Options include Householding, Nth Record Selection, suppressing or including POSTNET Bar Codes, sort orders, Previewing and Printing reports, and Exporting records. Exported records may be combined into householded records complete with a household MailName and greetings by First or Last Name. This makes it easy for mail houses to create mail merges and householded labels or envelopes using any program that can read an ASCII Delimited or dBase file format.
bullet All the Reports You Need are Built In. In addition to the basic mailing label reports, VoterAccess provides Call and Walk Lists in a variety of formats, GOTV (Get Out The Vote) Lists, Mail Merge Letters, and more.
bullet Call & Walk Lists may Include Custom Surveys. Up to seven user-defined questions each with up to five responses may be included in bar coded Call & Walk Lists, enabling rapid capture of valuable voter feedback. In addition, a Survey Analysis Report breaks down responses for any profile you create. A relatively small sample can be used to help define target groups to be included in larger mailings late in the campaign.
bullet Householding and Bulk Rate Sorts Cut Costs. Not only can records be sorted by Carrier Route, they may be house-holded and filtered by Nth record to generate a specific number of records for printing reports. Householding typically cuts the number of pieces to be mailed by 30%. Campaigns with their own Bulk Rate permits can save by having volunteers ‘pick and stick’ laser labels. Any profile may be exported to a variety of file formats for use by mailing houses or other applications.
bullet Bar Code Data Entry Saves Time and Labor. Call and Walk List responses may be quickly entered using a Bar Code Scanning form. Once a few simple options have been selected, the user never has to put down the wand again. Even mistakes may be corrected with a flick of the wand. A Survey Analysis Report provides a percentage breakdown of all responses associated with any Profile or Tags you select.
bullet Running an Absentee Voter ‘Chase’ Program is a Snap. Automatic Voter ID Matching enables fast capture of time-sensitive data. This capability provides VoterAccess with unparalleled power to mount a high-quality Absentee Chase program. In counties where Absentee Ballot Request data is provided on disk, voter records can be tagged automatically using a simple form. Tagged records can be quickly selected for same-day chase mailings to these critical voters. All that is needed is an ASCII Delimited or dBase (*.DB) file with a Voter ID in any field. VoterAccess makes the rest a snap.
bullet Comprehensive Contact/Financial Management enables recording a of wide variety of information about supporters, volunteers, donors, and others. In addition to Name & Address Data, the Contact Database stores Personal Data, any number of Affiliations, Issues, Skills and Activities, as well as Financial Data tracking for Donations received and Payments made.
bullet Wide Variety of Contact Reports. Any profile may be selected for use with a variety of reports, including a full Record Summary, a Phone Book, and Contribution, Disbursement, Pledge, Event and Casework Summary reports. Labels, Envelopes, Name Tags and Mail Merge letters may also be generated. All Financial and Event data is viewed and entered on a single screen, making associating Donations with Accounts, Events, Solicitors, etc. quick and painless.
bullet Runs on the PC You Already Have. Almost any PC sold today has enough speed and capacity to run a Congressional campaign with 350,000 voters. Minimum requirements are a PC with 128MB of RAM running Windows 98/Pro/XP with free hard disk capacity at least twice the size of the Voter Database. A Voter Database of 250,000 records would be roughly 200MB in size.
bullet Voter Databases may be Used with Other Applications. Your data is your data. Microsoft Office users can utilize VoterAccess Databases directly. Voter files may be enhanced with Geocoders for use with Mapping Applications, CASS Processing software, phone matching software, etc. FDC is glad to help, but you are never required to buy anything but VoterAccess itself.
bullet VoterAccess is a Proven Winner. Numerous Legislative, Congressional, and Supervisorial campaigns have used VoterAccess in winning efforts. In 1996, only one VoterAccess user lost - to another VoterAccess user!
