Create a List

Create a List is the voter universe builder. It lets a campaign filter the voter file into a targeted group that can be saved, cut into turf, or used for outreach planning.

What a list is

A list is a saved group of voters produced from filters. Campaigns might create lists for:

• persuasion canvassing
• turnout operations
• primary voters
• low-propensity supporters
• voters in a target precinct or district
• phone bank universes
• volunteer recruitment
• special outreach programs

How to build a list

1. Open Voters → Create a List.
2. Choose the filters that match your goal.
3. Review the matching voter count.
4. Save the list with a clear name.
5. Use the list in My Lists or cut it into turf from My Turf.

Good list names

Use names that explain both audience and purpose:

• HD-52 persuasion doors - May
• Primary voters - Precinct 104
• Phone bank universe - young voters
• High-support low-turnout voters

Clear names prevent organizers from accidentally using the wrong universe later.

Tips

• Start broad, then narrow. Over-filtering too early can hide useful voters.
• Save important universes instead of rebuilding the same filters repeatedly.
• Create separate lists for different outreach modes when the targeting logic differs.
• Before cutting turf, confirm the list size and geography make sense.
