<h5>Accessing WVDP VoteBuilder</h5><p>The West Virginia Democratic Party (WVDP) Voter File, <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong>VoteBuilder</strong></span>, is a tool available to all Democratic County Parties, candidates, and partners in good standing. VoteBuilder is considered the gold-standard of campaign technology for voter contact and volunteer management. VoteBuilder provides users access to not only the voter file data from each County Clerk, but also to powerful score modeling and consumer data to help us target the right people.</p><p>Each County Party, campaign, or partner is given access to their own committee to engage in voter contact and volunteer management. The information generated by these groups is unique to each committee, and proprietary for the duration of the cycle. At the end of each calendar year, WVDP’s data team incorporates the collective data of all committees to improve the overall data for all VoteBuilder users, in this way making the use of the tool cooperative.&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">In an effort to ensure quality access, fair cost, and accountable use, the WVDP is instituting the following<strong> </strong><a href="/58251e73-0cb4-4ea8-8971-3acddc66c794"><strong>VoteBuilder policies</strong></a> for the 2026 cycle. WVDP reserves the right to add, remove, or change any of these policies as deemed necessary throughout the cycle.</span><br></p>
