Mobile Overview
The Voter Gravity mobile site is an easy way volunteers to access walklists and other voter information on any tablet or smartphone.

Walklists
After selecting the campaign you want to help, you'll see a list of all of the walklists assigned to you.
To start canvassing, touch on the name of a list. Once you touch a walkist, you will see a map of all of the addresses on the list as well as the first address to start canvassing.
The next step is to touch the address that appears on each house on the map or on the list. Once the address has been selected, the screen will show all of the registered voters in that household. You can open and close the map by touching the show/hide map bar at the bottom of the screen.
A list of voters who live at the address will display. Along the side of each name is their age, gender, and Turnout score if that information is available.
Any name with a star next to it is a
target voter. This means they meet the specific filters for this walklist, however all of the voters in the household are displayed so you can walk away from the door with some data, even if the person you want is not at home.
To start a survey, touch the name of the person you want to talk to. The Survey button will become active. Touch it to get started, or one of the other options if the voter is not home or refused the survey.
When you start the survey, you'll see the questions appear on your screen.
The survey, customized by the campaign, will appear one question at a time. Read each question and the answers then touch the answer that the voter provides. Once a question is answered, the screen will automatically move to the next question.
If the survey asks for voter's information, such as email address or phone number, enter it using your device's keyboard.
Repeat these steps until the walklist is complete.
If you need to stop in the middle of a walklist, you can just come back to it later. Voter Gravity will save your place until the walklist is finished.
"Voters Near Me" button should be used if you have not been assigned any walklists, but you need to find voters closest to your geolocation. If you have no voter lists assigned and no Voters Near Me can be found, contact your account administrator.
Voter Search
In some situations, you'll want to tag voters who are not on one of your walklists. To search for a voter, touch the magnifying glass icon on the top bar, to the right of the logo:
From here you can search for voters and collect data on them from place like festivals or local events.
You can search for voters using several different options:
Voter Name - the name they are registered to vote with.
Street Address - their address.
State Voter ID number
After you enter your search value and touch the Search button, you'll see a list of results.
Touch the name of the person you're looking for and you'll see some basic information about them.
You'll also be able to add Voter Tags to the voter. Touch the Voter Tags button and then you'll see a list of available options.
Touch the tag you want to add and it will immediately be added to that voter.
