Run the Get Out the Vote Report

This report gives the county staff (as well as candidates and others who request information) an up-to-the-minute look at who has/has not voted in an election so far. You can output a list of those who have voted, those who haven't, and a list of both, with HAS NOT VOTEDor the date of voting shown for each voter.

The report is output as a Microsoft Excel file. For each voter, it shows their residential address, precinct, and party.

If your county has a VR Tower website, the EViD Get Out the Vote report can be automatically posted to the website for retrieval by candidates with login accounts. For instructions on creating these accounts, see How to Give a Candidate Access to the GOTV Report on Your Website.
