Cut Lists

Create geographic voter segments for targeted canvassing.

What is a Cut List?

A cut list is a subset of voters defined by:

Cut lists help you:

Creating a Cut List

Method 1: Draw on the Map

  1. Go to Cut Lists in the sidebar and click New Cut List
  2. Enter a name and optional description at the top
  3. Choose your drawing tool:
    • Polygon tool (pentagon icon) - Click to place points, the page subtitle updates to show "Draw a polygon on the map"
    • Rectangle tool (square icon) - Click two corners, a live preview outline shows as you move to the second corner
  4. Apply filters using the Filters button (optional)
  5. Click Save Cut List when done
The rectangle tool shows a dashed preview outline as you move your cursor after clicking the first corner, making it easy to see exactly what area you're selecting.

Method 2: Create from Demographics

Create cut lists targeting specific voter demographics without drawing:

  1. Click New Cut List and select the Demographics tab
  2. Choose demographic criteria:
    • Age range - Target specific age groups
    • Party affiliation - Democrats, Republicans, Independents
    • Property size - Filter by acreage/votes
    • Contact history - Never contacted, needs follow-up, etc.
  3. Review the matching voters count and save
Demographics-based lists are great for phone banking campaigns where geography matters less than voter characteristics.

Editing Polygons

Draggable Points

All polygon and rectangle vertices are always draggable:

Using SRP Division Boundaries

The map displays SRP division boundary lines to help you draw cut lists that align with official SRP districts. Toggle this overlay with the "Show SRP Divisions" checkbox.

Assigning Cut Lists

After creating a cut list, assign it to canvassers:

  1. Open the cut list details
  2. Click Assign Users
  3. Select one or more users
  4. Click Save

Assigned canvassers will see these voters in their mobile app and receive a push notification about the new assignment.

A canvasser can be assigned to multiple cut lists. They'll see the combined set of voters.

Cut List Statistics

Each cut list shows:

Deleting Cut Lists

To delete a cut list from the main list:

  1. Click the menu button on the cut list row
  2. Select Delete (shown in red with trash icon)
  3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog
Deleting a cut list doesn't delete the voters or their contact history. It only removes the grouping and any assignments.

Best Practices

Size Matters

Aim for 100-500 voters per cut list. Too few wastes the grouping; too many is overwhelming.

Logical Names

Use names that describe the area: "Rio Verde Foothills", "McDowell Mountain Ranch - South"

Use Rectangle for Simple Areas

The rectangle tool with live preview is faster for neighborhoods with grid-like streets.

Avoid Overlap

Try not to overlap cut lists. If you must, be aware that voters may show up for multiple canvassers.
