Polling day & GOTV

Run polling day and GOTV

Everything on polling day hangs off the polling station list. Here is the sequence that gets a campaign from a synced station list to a live, self-correcting knock-up operation on the day.

01

Sync polling stations, a day or two before

Cadrify pulls the day's ballot from Democracy Club, so there is no date to type in by hand. Syncing matches every elector's postcode to the station serving them. Do this early enough to add any station Democracy Club has not published yet, by hand.

02

Build the telling rota

Put blocks of cover on a timeline running the polling hours. Assign a volunteer to each block yourself, or let volunteers claim gaps themselves from the GOTV dashboard, whichever fills the rota faster.

03

Tell at the station

Tellers mark voters off by name or polling number as they come out. Marks come through live, so nobody on the knock-up list is chased after they have already voted.

04

Knock up your supporters

Knock-up rounds are ordinary rounds with a narrower list attached, your score one and two electors, minus anyone already marked as voted. Door-knockers work them exactly as they would any other week, and each mark taken anywhere, a teller, a knocker or the marked register, drops that elector off everyone else's list.

What to check
  • A ward needs a dated election ballot linked before any of this works. Link one from the GOTV tab if none is showing.
  • Unresolved electors, ones Democracy Club could not match to a station, never appear on knock-up lists. Clear them before building rounds.
  • Coverage has to sit inside the polling hours, 07:00 to 22:00.
