Flexible Pricing Plan
VoterAccess is a superior value, saving campaigns many times its purchase price
in service bureau costs for mailing lists, walk sheets, call sheets, analytical reports,
and more. To make VoterAccess even more affordable we have adopted a flexible pricing plan
that enables both incumbents and challengers to stage their payments across campaign
cycle. We have instituted a combination of module-based pricing, and user/campaign-type
pricing, the thrust of which is to provide a lower entry point for small constituency
campaigns. Prices now begin at only $795 for small campaigns. Please call for
details.
Inquiries about pricing for the PDI Campaign Manager,
the OEM version of VoterAccess available directly from Political Data, Inc.,
should be made by email to
gary@politicaldata.com, or by calling (800) 638-4649. Information about data
costs for PDI files is available at

Product Packaging & Installation
VoterAccess comes on a single CD and is installed
using a standard Setup routine. It comes with sample Voter and Contact Database files, so
no additional data has to be purchased to start using it. A detailed Manual is also
included. If you have purchased Voter Data concurrent with your purchase of VoterAccess,
this data will come on a separate CD. Any Pentium class PC running
any Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
version with
64MB of
RAM can run VoterAccess. Campaigns with larger Voter Databases will want to use faster
PCs, but any mid-range PC can easily run a Congressional campaign with 350,000 records.
Note that you may also install the program from
this web site by installing the Demo program (see Support page) and then
replacing the license file with the one you receive with your order.
FREE Product Updates
for Duration of License
Updates to VoterAccess are sent via Email, or
downloaded from this site. These updates are provided free of charge during the period for
which you have licensed VoterAccess.
Voter Data Sources &
Costs
The cost per record for voter data varies greatly, depending on both the source
and the difficulty of collecting voter history data. Typical third party supplier costs
are in the $10-$15/thousand records range, but there are some areas
and file selections where data will cost up
to $25/thousand records.
In California, VoterAccess data files
should be purchased from Political Data, Inc.(PDI). PDI offers an OEM version of
VoterAccess called the PDI Campaign Manager and can process data for use
with VoterAccess as part of your order. Using a different vendor will result in
increases cost due to custom processing requirements. The process of converting
PDI data into VoterAccess databases has been fully automated. The same files are
used by either version of VoterAccess. To contact PDI, call (800) 638-4649 and
ask for Gary Brown or Dean Rona. You may place orders for data and/or a copy
of the PDI Campaign manager at
http://www.politicaldata.com/order_form.html.
Training & Support
Support is provided by phone and by Email at no cost for a single contact within
an organization. VoterAccess is extremely powerful, but so easy to use that most users
take a week or so to get up to speed. After this time, most support calls deal with
strategies for taking best advantage of VoterAccess. If users want a jump-start, in-depth
training is available for $500 per day, plus travel, if required.
