Logging in & accounts

Everyone signs in the same way: your organization’s Voterra address, your email, your password. Sessions are per-person — there are no shared logins, so the activity feed and the audit trail always know who did what.

Invites: how accounts are born

Nobody on your team is ever handed a password somebody else chose. When a manager adds you — one at a time from Admin → Users, or a whole roster at once through Campaign Setup — Voterra mints a personal invite link. Open it, set your own password, and you’re in; your role and your turf are already attached.

Lost the link, or it expired? Whoever added you can press Re-invite on your row to issue a fresh one. Nothing about your account is lost.

Roles: everyone sees their own slice

Your account carries a role — coordinator, canvasser, analyst, texting lead, candidate, and so on — and, often, a turf: the part of the county you work. Together they decide what you see. A canvasser opens the app and finds their assigned doors, not the county’s whole voter file; an analyst gets maps and trends without personal contact details; a candidate sees their own race, walled to their district.

The full breakdown of who sees what: Roles & access.

Note

Scoping is enforced by the server, not just hidden in the app — two organizations on Voterra can never see each other’s data, and a teammate scoped to one precinct stays inside it no matter how they reach the app.

Adding teammates

Only admins and organization managers (plus anyone deliberately granted the permission) can create accounts. If you need a teammate added, ask your campaign manager — it takes them under a minute, and the how-to is in Manage users.

Signing out & sessions

Log out lives in the top-right corner on every screen. Sessions expire on their own after a period of inactivity; signing back in puts you exactly where your role starts.
