Program Title
A Better Canvass: One?Entry Data Collection and Real?Time Feedback
Program Summary
Arlington Countys Office of Voter Registration improved its canvass process by replacing long paper checklists that captured more than 100 data points with a simpler digital system. Instead of collecting the same information multiple times, canvass teams now enter data once during the review, reducing errors and saving time. The system sends automatic updates to precinct officials, providing quick feedback, and supporting better training. It also brings together information from multiple forms and records, making verification easier. With a real-time dashboard, election leaders can track progress and certify results with greater confidence.
