Step 3: Loading Voter Data

As an RNC partner, we work with state parties to provide free access to voter data in most cases. If you're not eligible to receive free data, we can work with a number of commercial data providers such as L2, The Data Trust, Aristotle, or i360 to import their data into Vottiv.
Step 4: Explore Vottiv Dashboard
Once you've created your account, you'll have access to the Vottiv dashboard. Check out our other tutorials to learn more about how to use your Vottiv account.
