The local party infrastructure gap
National parties have sophisticated tools. CRMs, voter databases, campaign infrastructure. But local riding associations often work with:
- Shared Google Sheets
- Personal email accounts
- Inconsistent volunteer tracking
- No clear membership management
When a local campaign needs to mobilize, there’s no infrastructure to build on.
What riding associations need
Membership management
Track your members. Know who’s active, who’s lapsed, who might re-engage. Manage renewals without chaos.
Local volunteer base
Your riding’s volunteers are your most valuable asset. Track their skills, their availability, their engagement history. When campaign time comes, you know who to call.
Event coordination
AGMs, nomination meetings, canvass launches, fundraisers. Professional event management for local budgets.
Communication
Keep your members informed. Share news, opportunities, calls to action. Build engagement between elections.
Campaign readiness
When an election is called, you should be ready. Supporter lists, volunteer rosters, donation infrastructure—all in place and up to date.
How gov.vote helps
Your riding’s space
youreda.party.toronto.ca.gov.vote (or whatever structure works for your party)
A professional presence that’s clearly local, clearly yours.
Integrated with campaigns
When your candidate declares, they have infrastructure to build on. Your riding’s supporter list, your volunteers, your donors—all ready to go.
Compliant by default
Federal and provincial party rules built in. Contribution limits, reporting requirements, data handling—we understand the regulatory environment.
Affordable for local budgets
Most riding associations run on minimal dues and small fundraisers. Our pricing reflects that reality.
