The Voter Action Pinellas Reach site provides lots of information that you can use to help your voters vote. Once you’re on the screen for a voter, you can see that there are categories of information that you can access. You’ll want to check out the available information on your voter before reaching out. Just swipe or scroll along that bar to get at the different categories of information.

You’ll start at the Survey page, which is the main page. The info at the top comes straight from the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections voter files. This screen tells you that the person is a registered voter and registered as a Democrat. VBM means that the Pinellas Supervisor lists your voter as signed up to vote by mail.

The next tab will give you contact information. It will give you info from the Supervisor of Election voter file and any additional information you choose to add.
If you want to use the Reach app to email or text a voter, then you should make sure that you add their cell number or email address, if it's not already listed.
You can choose not to share info with Voter Action Pinellas. We’ll never use your voter’s phone numbers or email addresses to contact them, but we will be sharing data with campaigns, and they may use that info. It’s no problem if you don’t want to share this info. There’s no question that your contacts with your voters are much more powerful than any impersonal campaign outreach.
The Location tab gives you the voter's address and lists any other voter in the home. You may consider adding others in the home to your voter network. If the voter is not registered at their current address, you can help them update their registration. They can change their registration as late as Election Day. Click HERE for more information about updating voter registrations.
The Details tab will show you every voting district the voter is in. For example, this tells me that I’m in St. Petersburg City Council Ward 4 ("21" is the supervisor of elections code for the City of St. Petersburg. Every city has a unique code. Here's a list of all Pinellas County city codes: Pinellas City Codes).
The last tab is voting history.
Note that the system lists all elections, whether or not the voter was eligible to vote in those elections. For example you’ll see that the system says that I didn't vote in the March 2022 and March 2023 municipal elections. That’s because I live in St Petersburg and there was no election here in March 2022 or March 2023.
focus on even-year general elections and municipal elections for which you know your voter was eligible to vote.
If you’re voter is showing an inconsistent voting history, they are in need of special attention; they are most in danger of not voting in the next election.
The next step is to talk with your voter about voting and log the info you learn. Here's how:
