Choose the Right VoteBuilder List
The VoteBuilder Service Team is ready to help you create the lists you need for your Democratic Party organizing work.
Choose a standard list – or create your own custom list.
The main list types are described below. After deciding which type of list you want to request (or if you’re not sure which type makes sense for your needs), fill out the VoteBuilder Request Form to begin the process of getting your list, using it and entering data back into the VoteBuilder database. This last part, entering data, is very important, and we can help identify a method that will work for you.
Any of these lists can be tailored to your needs in terms of the number of people included, the specific geographic area you’re targeting and the party affiliations you want to include. If you’re not sure what specifics you want, we’ll be happy to help you figure out the best criteria to use to get a list that matches your needs.
We are not able to provide VoteBuilder data for campaigns. If you are running for office or working with a candidate, please contact the Democratic Party of New Mexico to access VoteBuilder for your campaign: 505-985-3988.

Get Out the Vote (GOTV)
