Field delivery, on autopilot

Field logistics that
run themselves.

Volunteers claim, route, and deliver yard signs, literature, and supplies from a live map — so your staff can stop playing dispatcher and get back to winning.

Built by campaign operators who've run real field programs.

Launch before your next lit drop.

From the field, not a whiteboard

Built by campaign operators, not a boardroom.

ElectionRelay comes from people who've run real field programs — the daily scramble of getting signs, literature, and supplies into the right hands. Every feature earned its place solving that problem on the ground, not sketching it on a whiteboard.

Why it matters

Your staff shouldn't be a dispatch desk.

Campaigns waste scarce staff time playing dispatcher for logistics — who has signs, who's delivering where, what's already done. Volunteers want to help, but they need structure to act on their own.

Without ElectionRelay

Staff become the bottleneck

Every sign request runs through a person. Texts, spreadsheets, and phone trees pile up while your best people burn hours coordinating deliveries instead of running the race.

With ElectionRelay

Volunteers run themselves

A live map and clear assignments turn your volunteers into a self-directed delivery force. Your limited staff stop coordinating deliveries and get back to winning.

Momentum

A sign that shows up fast is a supporter who talks.

Fast, reliable delivery isn't just tidy logistics — it's word of mouth. Every sign you get onto a lawn quickly turns a supporter into an evangelist, and momentum compounds.

01

The sign shows up fast

A supporter asks for a sign and it lands on their lawn in days, not weeks. That speed tells them everything: this campaign is organized, this is real.

02

They feel taken care of

Nobody chases them, nobody forgets. A supporter who feels handled is a supporter who trusts you with more than a yard.

03

They tell their neighbors

A happy supporter is your best organizer. They share how to sign up, a neighbor requests one, and the loop starts again.

Slow, forgotten sign requests do the opposite. Speed is the message.

How it works

Up and running in a day.

No dispatcher, no spreadsheets, no phone tree. Three steps from sign-up to signs in yards.

01

Your campaign gets a portal

You get your own branded site at your subdomain, with a built-in public request form. Supporters ask for a sign; the request lands on the map. Zero integration required.

02

Volunteers claim & deliver

Volunteers open the live map, claim requests near them, follow an optimized route, and mark each stop delivered from their phone. No one waits on staff to hand out assignments.

03

Everyone sees progress

Coordinators watch deliveries happen in real time, track inventory, and spot gaps. Supporters see their request move from claimed to delivered. Full transparency, top to bottom.

The handoff

Your requests already flow in from VoteBuilder. ElectionRelay takes it from there.

On most campaigns, sign requests pour in from NGP VAN — and then a field staffer works the list by hand: pull it, figure out which signs are near which volunteer, assign the stops, plan the routes. That's the busywork that eats your best people.

ElectionRelay takes the handoff automatically. Requests sync straight in from VoteBuilder, CSV, or a webhook. Volunteers claim what's closest to them. The app builds the best route. No staffer in the middle manually routing stops or matching signs to the nearest volunteer.

The cost case

What field logistics actually costs you — before you count a single vote.

Every campaign already pays for sign logistics. Most just pay for it the expensive way: in your organizers' time.

Doing it by hand, one cycle
Dispatch, routing & tracking ~10 hrs/weekof organizer time
Over a 14-week sign season ~140 staff hoursthat never come back
At a loaded $25/hr ≈ $3,500in labor
Signs lost to bad inventory tracking + ~$500in waste & rush reorders
Real cost of "just handling it" ≈ $4,000 — and 140 hours your organizers never get back.
With ElectionRelay
  • Those 140 hours go back to voter contact — roughly 1,700 more voter conversations in the same season.
  • Every sign is tracked from request to delivery. Nothing lost, nothing reordered twice.
  • Your field director stops being a dispatcher and starts being a field director again.

ElectionRelay pays for itself in reclaimed labor alone — before you count the supporters who actually got their sign, the faster name ID, or the conversations you didn't have time for last cycle.

How this is figured: based on a 14-week active sign season, ~10 hours/week of manual dispatch and inventory work, a loaded organizer rate of $25/hr (a deliberately conservative figure), and ~12 voter contacts per reclaimed hour. Adjust to your own campaign's numbers below — the pattern holds at any scale.

Compare against
Cost of doing it by hand $4,000 $3,500 labor + $500 waste & rush reorders
Total staff hours 140 hrs
Labor cost $3,500
Waste / rush-reorder estimate $500
1,700 more voter conversations from the hours you'd get back

ElectionRelay runs $1,500/cycle — it pays for itself and returns $2,000 in reclaimed labor on top.

Assumptions, shown so you can trust the math: waste is estimated at $0.25/sign from mis-tracked and duplicated orders, and reclaimed hours convert at 12 voter contacts/hour. These are modeled estimates, not guarantees — change any input and every figure updates.

Security & your data

Your data stays yours.

ElectionRelay handles real supporter information — names, addresses, contact history — so we treat it like the sensitive asset it is.

Volunteers see only what they need.

Field volunteers get their assigned stops — not your full supporter file. Access is scoped by role, so a route-runner never sees the whole list.

You own it, we don't touch it.

Your data is yours. We never sell it, share it, or reuse it across campaigns. When your cycle ends, we hand it back and delete our copy on your say-so.

Encrypted in transit and at rest.

Every connection is encrypted, and your supporter data lives in a locked-down, access-controlled managed database that only your authorized team can reach.

Built for the record.

Export your full delivery and request history any time — clean documentation for your files and your compliance team.
