Features - See every door. Verify every knock.
Advanced Canvass Tracking gives campaign managers live GPS visibility into every canvasser in the field, automatically flags falsified locations, and turns each shift into hard productivity data your campaign can act on.
Replay every step of every shift
For every canvasser, on every day, Vottiv records a complete GPS path alongside every door they marked. You can replay any shift and see the route they walked, the homes they reached, and the distance from each canvasser to the door they reported knocking on.
Suspicious gaps in the path are stitched together as separate segments, so you can tell at a glance whether a canvasser walked their assigned area or skipped it.
Built into the report
- Per-day path replay
- Door-level distance from canvasser
- Time-stamped action history
- Status & survey responses inline
Catch fake GPS before it hits a timesheet
Mock-location apps are a one-tap problem. Vottiv runs every canvassing session through a multi-signal detector that combines impossible-speed checks, door-distance verification, accuracy and altitude drift, motion-sensor analysis, and movement-pattern fingerprints into a single confidence score.
For every door a canvasser marks, Vottiv records exactly how far their phone was from that address. Couch canvassers — the ones clicking through their assigned list without ever leaving home — get caught the moment their reported visits start landing half a mile from the actual door.
Genuine GPS hiccups stay quiet. Real spoofing — the kind that lets someone clock a four-hour shift from their couch — gets flagged automatically with the evidence attached, so you can review and decide before payroll runs.
What the detector looks at
- Impossible-speed teleportation
- Door-distance verification
- Static accuracy & altitude
- Motion-sensor mismatch
- Synthetic movement patterns
- GPS fingerprint anomalies
- Hysteresis-gated confidence

Coach the team you can finally see
Every canvasser gets a personal stats view with lifetime doors knocked, surveys completed, signatures gathered, voter registrations, and active minutes. Field directors get the same numbers rolled up by canvass, by week, and by territory.
A live doors-per-hour leaderboard shows up in every canvasser's app, so the people putting in the work see it — and so does everyone else.

Pay people for the hours they actually worked
Active minutes are computed from real GPS sessions, not from self-reported hours. Vottiv stitches every shift together automatically, so a week of canvassing turns into a clean, exportable timesheet ready for payroll.
Spoof-flagged sessions are kept distinct from verified ones in the export, so you have an honest paper trail when it's time to decide what to pay.
Export options
- Per-canvass or organization-wide
- Any date range
- CSV download
- Includes spoof flags
The Vottiv Canvasser system has been a game changer for our field teams. It saves us tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of work every election cycle.
Everything you get - Field operations that finally have receipts
Advanced Canvass Tracking is included with every Vottiv canvass — no extra setup, no separate app to install, and nothing for your canvassers to learn.
- Real-time action paths. Watch each canvasser move across their territory live. Every GPS sample is plotted, joined into a path, and overlaid against the homes assigned to them.
- Automatic spoofing detection. Seven independent signals — door-distance verification, speed, accuracy drift, motion sensors, orientation, GPS fingerprints, and movement patterns — combine into a confidence-scored spoof flag.
- Per-canvasser productivity. Doors knocked, doors per hour, surveys completed, signatures gathered, and voter registrations are computed per canvasser, per canvass, and per day.
- Verified session timesheets. Active minutes are stitched from real GPS sessions instead of self-reported hours, then exported as a clean CSV for payroll any day of the week.
- Live leaderboards. Rank canvassers by doors knocked, surveys completed, or doors per hour. Every canvasser sees their own rank in their app, driving healthy competition.
- Activity feed & replay. A complete, time-stamped history of every status, survey, and signature is searchable, filterable, and replayable for any canvasser, any day.
