The platform
Everything a kitchen-table campaign needs to run like a machine
Purpose-built for the realities of local field work — spotty signal, volunteer turnover, and a voter file that arrived as a messy spreadsheet.
Win-probability model
Every recorded conversation recalculates your odds. Model the doors left to flip the race.
Smart walk lists
Auto-routed turf that sends volunteers to the highest-value doors first — no backtracking.
Any clerk file
Drag in the CSV your county sends. Columns auto-detect, addresses geocode, the walk list builds itself.
Volunteers & turf
Invite your team with a join code, assign territory, and track coverage in real time.
How it works
From spreadsheet to ground game in three steps
01
Import your voter file
Upload the CSV your county clerk provides. CanvassLocal auto-detects columns, geocodes every address, and builds your walk list — no formatting, no GIS degree required.

Knock the right doors
Your phone shows exactly who to visit next. One tap records their response — supportive, undecided, or opposed. Works fully offline and syncs when you reconnect.

Our mission
Built for the candidates nobody's building for
Most campaign software is built for statewide races with six-figure budgets. But the candidates who shape your daily life — your school board member, your city council rep, your county commissioner — are running campaigns out of their kitchen with a spreadsheet and a prayer.
CanvassLocal exists because those candidates deserve real tools. We built the canvassing app we wished existed when we were knocking doors ourselves: one that works offline, imports any clerk file, and tells you which doors to knock next.
We're a small team that believes local government is where democracy actually happens. If you're running for something that matters to your neighbors, we want to help you win.
