To send out polling information, you can use variables when composing your message in Step 2 of the Campaign Creation process.
The key variables that are most commonly used are:
- Polling Place Name: {{ person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote.locate.polling_locations[0].location_name }}
- Polling Place Address: {{ person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote.locate.polling_locations[0].location_name }}
- Polling Place Hours: {{ person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote.locate.polling_locations[0].dates_hours }}.
To put it all together, below are few example messages that include variables.
Sample Message - Election Day

{% if person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote and person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote.locate %} Here's all the info you need to vote in {{ person.primary_address.locality }}:
🗳️ Your polling place is {{ person.primary_address.dnc_will_vote.locate.polling_locations[0].location_name }}.

A note on data availability: While we expect to have election day polling place data available for 50 US states, some states won't have information until closer to the election. Additionally, some states don't have early voting and/or vote-by-mail at all. You can check this this spreadsheet for more info on state-by-state data availability.
Accurate Addresses Needed: We can't send out accurate polling place information to people in your Daisychain account unless they have accurate addresses. If the address information is missing, malformed, or inaccurate, they can't be geocoded, and Daisychain won't be able to determine their polling place.
