How to sign up, walk your turf, record each door, help someone register, and stay within the rules. Works on any phone; no app store needed. Updated Oct 3, 2026.
Open the app link your organizer gave you and tap the Sign up tab.
Enter your name, email, and a password (6 or more characters), then tap Ask to join.
You'll get an email right away confirming we received your request (from RACC Canvassing <[email protected]> — check spam the first time). You can't see any voter information until the organizer approves you; when that happens you get a second email with your sign-in link.
Next time, use the Sign in tab. Forgot your password? Tap Forgot password? and follow the link, or ask the organizer to send you a reset.
Put it on your home screen
iPhone (Safari): tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
Android (Chrome): tap the menu (three dots), then Add to Home screen / Install app.
It then opens like a normal app, full screen.
Do this at home on Wi-Fi first. Open your turf once while you have a good connection so it is ready if you lose signal at the door.
2. Walking a turf
After you sign in, the home screen shows Today's campaign (the race the organizer picked for the day, so you don't have to choose) and a list of your turfs.
Each turf card shows its name, how many doors you've knocked (for example 12/40), the neighbourhood, the precinct, and the number of voters.
If the card says No turf has been given to you yet or You are not on a team yet, ask the organizer to put you on a team and assign an area.
An amber apartments / condos tag means the turf includes multi-unit buildings. Expect gates, buzzers or building rules, and several voters at one address.
A green ✓ Walked badge with a full green bar means that turf is already done (walked on paper or by another team) — skip it. An amber Reserved badge means it's held for a specific team.
Check the Campaign shown at the top matches what your organizer told you (for example PG City Council). If there's a dropdown, pick the one you were given.
Tap a turf to open it. You can switch between two views at the bottom:
Map: your doors as pins on a map. Tap a pin to open that door.
List: the same doors in walking order, with the voters who live there. Party shows as R, D or NPA.
⚖ Rules (top of the map and list): what you may do and what to say if a voter, an HOA, or an official questions you — with the law to point to. It works without signal.
Print (map): a clean paper copy of the turf map with numbered pins. Use the numbers to match the List.
☰ Streets (map, right side): a see-through list of every street and house number in the turf. Tap a house to open it; tap Hide to get it out of the way (the app remembers). Each street has a Mark done button for door-hanger-only walks.
The tabs on the home screen are Turf (your walk list), Ballot (what you're walking for), Areas (results by area) and People (volunteer progress).
3. Recording a door
After each knock, tap the one result that fits. This is what counts as a knock.
Tap
Use it when
Supporter
They said they support our candidate.
Undecided
They're open or haven't made up their mind.
Opposed
They said they support someone else.
Left material · not home
You knocked, nobody answered, you left a door hanger.
Materials only · no knock
You left materials without knocking (the dot turns black). To do a whole street at once, open the ☰ Streets panel on the map and tap Mark done beside the street. If you do talk to someone later, tap the dot and record the real result — it replaces “materials only”. Marked the wrong street by mistake? Open ☰ Streets and tap Un-mark on that street — it removes only the materials-only marks you made. Wrong house? Tap its dot and use Undo materials-only mark. Anything else, tell the organizer.
Moved
The voter no longer lives there.
Refused
They didn't want to talk.
Made a mistake? Just tap the correct result for that door; the most recent result is the one shown for that door.
Someone wants to register to vote
Tap + Someone here is not on the list, tick Wants to register, enter their email and tap Save. The app emails them the official Florida registration link (and the paper form) on the spot. If they'd rather not share an email, tell them to search RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov.
Never collect, fill in, or hand in a registration form for anyone. Under Florida law that makes us a "third-party voter registration organization" with its own rules and fines. We point people to the State's site; they register themselves.
4. Notes: voter questions and follow-ups
Notes are not knocks. They never change your count. Use a note when a voter raises a civic or voting question you couldn't fully answer, or wants something from us.
Open the door and tap Add a note.
Type what came up, for example "Asked where to vote early" or "Worried about mail ballots".
If a follow-up is needed, choose one: Bring a yard sign, Bring more information, or other.
Tap Save note.
The note is saved with the address, the date and time, and who lives there, so the organizer knows exactly who to go back to. You can add more than one note to a door.
See your own notes: tap the bold ✎ My notes button on the home screen. You see only your notes. The organizer sees everyone's, with follow-ups listed first.
Be respectful with what you record. Write what was asked or requested, not personal opinions about the person. Voter information is for our campaign only: don't screenshot, share or post it.
5. No signal?
Keep walking. If you lose signal, results and notes are saved on your phone and sent automatically when you're back online. A small badge shows how many are waiting. Don't sign out until it clears. If you open the app and your campaign or turf changed, it will take you back to the home screen to reload.
6. Ballot tab
Tap Ballot to see the races you're walking for and the statewide amendments (amendments need 60% to pass). It's a quick cheat sheet for the conversation at the door.
7. Rules at the door
The short version — the full law text with what to say is under ⚖ Rules in the app and on racc1776.com/volunteers.
"No Soliciting" is not "no canvassing" — political door-knocking is protected and we're not selling anything. But it's their home: skip the door, or leave the moment you're asked.
Leave when told. Staying after being asked to go, or entering land posted "No Trespassing", is trespass.
Gated communities: private roads need the association's permission or a resident host. Don't tailgate through a gate. Non-gated streets and sidewalks are public.
Yard signs: HOAs can ban them in Florida. Ask before offering one.
Never put anything in a mailbox — it's a federal offence. Door hangers and door jambs are fine.
Hand out only printed campaign literature with the "Political advertisement paid for by…" line on it. No homemade flyers.
At early voting or on election day: nothing within 150 feet of a polling-place entrance or ballot drop box — no literature, no asking for votes, no photos inside.
If questioned: stay polite, say "I'm a volunteer sharing election information — happy to leave if you'd like," offer to show the Rules page, and go. Never argue on a doorstep.
8. Troubleshooting
“That email already has an account” when signing up
You signed up before. Use the Sign in tab, or Forgot password? to set a new one. If you are still waiting to be approved, nothing more to do.
Problem
Fix
"Waiting for approval"
The organizer hasn't approved you yet. Message them.
No sign-up or approval email
Check spam/promotions for RACC Canvassing <[email protected]> and mark it "not spam". If it's not there after a few minutes, ask the organizer — they can approve you and resend.
Print or Rules button missing
Your phone has an old copy. Close the app fully and reopen it while you have signal.
No turfs showing
You may not be on a team, or no area has been assigned to your team yet. Ask the organizer.
Can't sign in
Check your email spelling, then use Forgot password?. Volunteers use the Sign in tab; only the organizer uses the Organizer tab.
Page looks outdated
Close and reopen the app while you have signal. If it persists, sign out and back in.
Map is blank
The map tiles need a connection. Switch to List, which works without signal once your turf has loaded.
