MiniVan Mobile Canvassing Guide

Set-Up:

1. For Apple Users: Go to the App Store, search for “MiniVAN Touch”, and download the app. 

For Android Users: Go to the Google Play Store, search for “MiniVAN”, and download the app. 

2. If you do not have an ActionID, select Create Your ActionID to log in. Make sure that you create a password that is easy for you to remember. Next time you canvass with MiniVAN, you’ll select Log In with ActionID.

3. Once you’ve logged in, you may be prompted to Enter a List Number. If so, select this option, and enter the list number given to you by the campaign. Click Submit to download the list. If not, select Menu and Download a New List.

Canvassing:

1. Under My List, click on the Map to see households you’ll canvass. You have the option to toggle between Households by address (often, you’ll be attempting to contact more than one person per household) OR view People alphabetically. It is best to work from Household and then select the person.

2. To quickly get oriented in the neighborhood, select the Next Door icon at the bottom of the screen. This will display the three closest un-canvassed houses on your list.

3. When you’re ready to start talking to voters, click on the address to see the name of the voters at that household. Under Details, you’ll see their age, sex, and party affiliation.

4. If you are able to speak with the voter, record the results under Script. If you were not able to speak with the voter, select I Couldn’t Reach This Contact and the reason why. You can add any notes about the interaction by selecting NOTE. 

5. Update Contact Info: Please ask if the numbers on file are good. (It usually helps to ask if you can delete old numbers). Make a NOTE it was updated and ask for an email. Add it in NOTES, NOT the EMAIL Section.

After your entry, return to map or household view. Go to the next address and repeat the process. Remember to sync your data by selecting Sync on the Menu. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN SHARING A LIST!

Thank you for canvassing with us! We can’t win this without you.
