— Signatures

From the clipboard to the cloud at the moment of signing.

Signer fills the form on the gatherer's phone or tablet. Address auto-validates. GPS coordinates and timestamp lock to the record. Fuzzy matching catches duplicates before they enter the count. The signature is in the verified pile before the gatherer thanks them.

  • GPS verification Lat/lng on every signature
  • Address validation USPS-grade at point of entry
  • Duplicate detection Fuzzy match by name + address
  • Jurisdiction check Inside boundary or flag for review
  • Audit log Every edit timestamped, tied to user

— The platform

Campaign manager at the desk. Gatherer at the corner. Same record.

No paper sheets coming back smudged at 9pm. No spreadsheet reconciliation the night before filing. Every signature writes to the same record the campaign manager sees on the goal tracker.

/01 — DESK

Campaign console

Set the goal, draw the jurisdiction, assign gatherers, watch the count climb. The deadline dashboard your campaign manager checks every hour of the final week.

  • Goal target with daily velocity tracking
  • Jurisdiction polygon for boundary check
  • Gatherer assignment + per-region quotas
  • Live signature feed & verification queue

/02 — DOOR

Gatherer app

What your gatherers actually use on the corner. Signer screen, signature pad, validation, sync. Works offline; queues up everything for when signal returns.

  • Signer screen with required-field validation
  • On-screen signature capture (e-sig grade)
  • Address auto-fill + jurisdiction check
  • Offline sync · works at park signing tables

/03 — MAP

Live goal tracking

Every signature pings the dashboard in real time. Count toward target, daily velocity, gatherer leaderboard, projected completion date. The numbers your steering committee will read.

  • Real-time signature count vs. target
  • Daily velocity + projected close date
  • Top-performing gatherers + regions
  • CSV / PDF export for state filing

— How a drive runs

From kickoff to filing in four steps.

The same loop whether you're collecting 4,000 signatures for a city charter amendment or 250,000 for a statewide ballot initiative.

/01

Set the target & jurisdiction

Define the signature goal and draw the legal jurisdiction on the map. Every signer is automatically validated against the boundary at the moment of signing.

/02

Cut signature regions

Polygon high-traffic regions — farmers' markets, transit stops, college quads. Assign gatherers, set per-region quotas, balance coverage.

/03

Collect & validate

Gatherers run the signer screen. Required fields enforced, address validated, GPS locked, signature captured. Duplicate match runs on every entry.

/04

Filing-ready export

Print-ready PDF in the state-required format, or CSV for jurisdictions that take digital filing. GPS metadata and timestamps preserved for any verification round.

— Drive types

Same data model. The deadline changes.

A statewide ballot initiative and a recall petition aren't the same job. The platform configures around what the secretary of state or county clerk actually requires.

Ballot initiative

Statewide and local measures.

The hard target with a hard deadline. Statewide signature thresholds, county-by-county minimums, single-subject rule fields. The dashboard the campaign director watches every morning.

Captures: Signature · Address · Date · Jurisdiction · Verified Y/N

  • BOUNDARYState / county / district polygon match
  • QUOTASPer-county minimums tracked live
  • FORMState-required field set baked in
  • EXPORTPrint-ready PDFs in filing format
Recall campaign

Recall and removal petitions.

Tighter window, sharper pressure. Required statement fields, registered-voter verification, and a goal tracker that counts down to the deadline by the hour.

Captures: Voter ID · Signature · Statement Ack · Verification Status

  • VERIFYVoter file match for registered status
  • STATEMENTRequired-statement acknowledgement
  • COUNTDOWNHourly velocity vs. deadline window
  • PURGEDuplicate + ineligible auto-removed
Candidate qualification

Ballot access for candidates.

For independents, primary candidates, and minor parties. Per-district minimums, partisan-affiliation fields, and the kind of audit trail that survives a challenge.

Captures: Voter Reg · Party · District · Signature · Witness

  • DISTRICTPolygon match for legislative district
  • PARTYAffiliation rule enforcement (R/D/I/etc.)
  • WITNESSCirculator affidavit captured digitally
  • CHALLENGEPer-signature audit log on every record

— Drive FAQ

The questions campaign managers ask before they sign.

/Q — FILING

Will the secretary of state accept it?

State-by-state filing format export with GPS metadata, timestamps, and circulator info preserved. Print-ready PDFs match the form your state requires; CSV export for jurisdictions that accept digital filing.

/Q — DUPES

How does duplicate detection work?

Fuzzy matching by name and address catches duplicate signatures at the moment of entry. Soft warning if a likely duplicate matches, hard block if exact match. Saves verification rejections downstream.

/Q — OFFLINE

Farmers' markets with no Wi-Fi?

The mobile app keeps working without cell signal. Signatures are saved on the phone and sent to the server when signal returns. The signer never knows; the gatherer never loses one. Works in basements, parking garages, and dead-zone parks.

/Q — PRICING

Per gatherer?

No. Pricing is by the size of the contact universe (signatures collected count as contacts), not gatherer count. Bring 5 paid gatherers or 500 volunteers — same price. Six tiers; Starter $59 to Enterprise $599.

/Q — JURISDICTION

How does boundary check work?

Draw the legal jurisdiction polygon on the map. Every signer's address is validated against it at point of entry. Out-of-jurisdiction signatures flag for review rather than silently fail at filing.

/Q — SETUP

How fast can a drive launch?

Most drives are collecting in under three days. Same-day account, jurisdiction polygon drawn during onboarding, gatherers downloading the app the same afternoon. White-glove onboarding $249–$999 for tight-deadline drives.

— Start collecting

Your first signatures come in this week.

Open an account, draw the jurisdiction, set the target. By Saturday morning your gatherers are at the farmers' market with GPS-verified collection and a live goal tracker on the campaign dashboard.
