No political jargon.
Everything candidates, campaign teams, canvassers and voters need to understand VotersPlus.
01What is VotersPlus?
VotersPlus is a civic engagement and campaign-management platform built for Nigeria. It connects politicians, campaign managers, canvassers, and voters on one platform to make grassroots engagement more organized, measurable, and accountable.
02Who is VotersPlus for?
VotersPlus is designed for three primary groups:
- Politicians and Campaign Managers — to organize and monitor campaigns.
- Canvassers — to manage field activities and register voters.
- Voters — to connect with candidates, receive information, and participate in civic activities.
03What problem does VotersPlus solve?
Traditional grassroots campaigns often depend on WhatsApp groups, word of mouth, and unverifiable reports. VotersPlus provides a structured system for recruiting canvassers, registering voters, monitoring field activities, communicating with voters, and tracking campaign performance.
04How does VotersPlus help politicians?
Politicians and campaign managers can:
- Create and manage campaigns.
- Find and hire canvassers by location.
- Monitor voter registrations and canvasser productivity.
- Communicate with registered voters.
- Monitor election-day turnout.
- Receive polling-unit information and uploaded result sheets.
05How does VotersPlus help campaign managers?
Campaign managers gain a centralized view of grassroots operations. They can see who is working, where they are working, how many voters they have reached, and how campaign activities are progressing.
06What is the role of a VotersPlus canvasser?
A canvasser is a grassroots field representative who helps a campaign engage voters and build its voter network. Through VotersPlus, canvassers can receive assignments, register voters, manage their voter list, and participate in election-day activities.
07How do politicians find canvassers?
Politicians can browse canvassers based on their state, LGA, ward, and polling unit, review available information, and send hiring invitations through the platform.
08Can canvassers register voters without internet access?
Yes. VotersPlus is designed to allow canvassers to register voters in the field even when they are offline. The information can synchronize when the canvasser reconnects to the internet.
09How does VotersPlus help voters?
Voters can connect with campaigns, receive candidate updates and announcements, participate in surveys, access civic engagement opportunities, and interact with candidates through available platform features.
10Can a voter support or follow more than one candidate?
Yes. The platform allows voters to join multiple campaigns across different elections, enabling them to engage with different candidates rather than being locked into one campaign.
11Do voters need the VotersPlus app to participate?
Not necessarily. VotersPlus provides browser-based access for some experiences, including participation in virtual town halls. This helps extend access beyond people who have installed the mobile application.
12Does VotersPlus work only during elections?
No. VotersPlus is designed around the broader campaign and civic-engagement lifecycle—from voter engagement and campaign organization through election-day activities. Its long-term potential also extends to continuous engagement between citizens and political leaders.
13What happens on Election Day?
Canvassers can record voter accreditation and turnout from their polling units, while campaign teams can monitor turnout information. Canvassers can also upload official polling-unit result sheets for verification.
14Is VotersPlus only for presidential elections?
No. The platform is designed to support presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, House of Representatives, State House of Assembly, and local government elections.
15Is VotersPlus a political party?
No. VotersPlus is a technology and civic-engagement platform. It provides tools for candidates, campaign teams, canvassers, and voters across different political affiliations.
16Does VotersPlus tell people who to vote for?
No. VotersPlus facilitates civic participation, voter engagement, and access to information. It does not dictate a voter's political choice.
17How is VotersPlus different from WhatsApp groups?
WhatsApp can facilitate communication, but it does not provide a purpose-built system for campaign structure, canvasser recruitment, geographic assignment, voter registration tracking, performance monitoring, and election-day field operations. VotersPlus brings these functions into one connected platform.
18Why should a politician use VotersPlus?
Modern campaigns need more than rallies, posters, and verbal reports. VotersPlus helps candidates organize their grassroots network, measure campaign activity, understand their reach, and make better-informed operational decisions.
19Why should I become a VotersPlus canvasser?
You can connect with campaigns looking for canvassers in your area, receive assignments, build a track record of campaign activity, and participate in structured grassroots engagement.
20Why should I join VotersPlus as a voter?
VotersPlus gives you a direct digital channel to stay informed, engage with candidates, participate in civic activities, and have a more active role in the democratic process.
21Where can I get the VotersPlus app?
The Android app is available now on Google Play. The iOS app is in beta. You can also register on the website or visit our download section for both options.
