From file to field
A voter file becomes a plan for your team
Bring a voter file you are authorized to use. Activate prepares it for import, then shows the list and quoted Credits before you approve it. Here is a small example you can use to plan a walking shift.
Try the small synthetic example
The downloadable file contains fictional people and addresses. It includes split street columns, units 2A and 2B, and ZIP 02134. One row has only a voter ID and is skipped.
- source rows
- 9
- accepted records
- 8
- skipped row
- 1
6 people have street addresses: 4 household stops across 3 buildings. The 2 accepted records without a street address need review before walking assignments.
People and household stops are different counts
Two people share unit 2A. The person in unit 2B is a separate household stop in the same building. Keep those units distinct when you plan the shift.
| Household stop | People |
|---|---|
| 101 N Example St · 2A | 2 |
| 101 N Example St · 2B | 1 |
| 103 N Example St | 1 |
| 105 N Example St | 2 |
Fictional addresses. This is a manual planning example, not an application screen, an optimized route or a promise about travel time.

Your first hour with Activate
A realistic first hour — from signup to doors knocked.
A vision ten years in the making.
Daniel saw what was missing in the canvassing space — a tool that was actually fun to use, simple to get started with, and freely available to any campaign that needed it. For nearly a decade, he held onto a clear vision: canvassing software should empower volunteers, not slow them down.
That vision became Activate — a canvassing app, free to start, built to strengthen democracy from the ground up. We believe every candidate, regardless of budget or background, deserves the tools to connect with their community and earn every vote. No credit card required. No gatekeeping. Just show up and organize.
