FOR POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MANAGERS AND DIRECTORS RUNNING NGP VAN WHO NEED FASTER CALLING AND TEXTING WITHOUT SWITCHING CRMS
Your VAN Lists Are Election-Ready. Your Phone Bank Throughput Is Not.
OpenVPB and VPB Connect cap your volunteers at 60 live contacts per agent per hour. You need 200. The window to fix this before November is closing.
NGP VAN builds the best voter universes in Democratic politics. But reaching 50,000 persuadable voters in the final six weeks is a throughput problem, not a data problem. Campaign managers who add campaign calling software directly into their VAN instance move from 60 live contacts per agent per hour to 150–200. Layer in political texting and political SMS on the same platform, and every channel calls, texts, and voice drops run off a single VAN list, with every result syncing back automatically. No CSV exports. No re-keying. No data lag.
CallHub is political campaign software built for this exact workflow. It connects to your VAN instance in under 48 hours, surfaces voter contact history and activist codes for your volunteers in a single view, and keeps every interaction from a persuasion call to a political canvassing software session to a political campaign SMS blast synced back to VAN in real time.

Three Outreach Bottlenecks That Cost Campaigns Seats
VAN Has Your Voter Universe. CallHub Gives You the Engine to Reach It.
NGP VAN builds the best voter universes in the business. But building the list and reaching the list are two different operations. These are the three bottlenecks that slow campaigns down in the critical final months, and how CallHub eliminates each one.
Your Volunteers Are Hand-Dialing Through VAN Lists
Your Problem
OpenVPB and VPB Connect get the job done, but at manual speed. An 8-person phone bank making 60 calls per hour hits a ceiling of 480 contacts per hour. Reaching 50,000 voters at that pace takes 104 hours, which you don’t have before November.
The Fix
Predictive Dialer Software + FastClick Dialers. Plugged Directly Into VAN. CallHub’s auto dialer for political campaigns eliminates dead dial time; agents only connect when a real person answers. The TCPA compliant dialer uses human-initiated calling to reach mixed cell/landline lists from VAN at speeds matching automated dialers. Dial rates can scale up to 10x for GOTV calling software surges.
What You Get
3–5x Agent Productivity. Same Headcount. Campaigns using CallHub’s political dialer software move from ~60 live contacts per agent per hour to 150–200. Your 8-person phone bank now has the throughput of a 30-person operation. Every call result, survey responses, activist codes, and event RSVPs sync back to VAN automatically.
Your Outreach Results Live in a Silo
Your Problem
You blast a recruitment text to 20,000 VAN contacts. 1,800 respond. But those responses, opt-outs, and commitment tags don’t flow back to VAN. Your field directors are working from a list that still shows all 20,000 as uncontacted. Your best responders get re-recruited next week.
The Fix
Two-Way NGP VAN Sync. Surveys, Codes, Events, RSVPs. CallHub imports your saved VAN lists and maps VAN IDs, survey questions, activist codes, and events. During campaigns, every canvass response, RSVP, and tag collected by volunteers syncs back to VAN in real time, appearing in Survey Responses, Events, Activist Codes, and Activity history.
What You Get
VAN Reflects Reality. Not Just What You Sent. Your targeting models, walk lists, and GOTV universes update as conversations happen, not three days later after a CSV import. One database. Complete picture. Field directors see who’s been contacted, what they said, and what they need inside VAN, where they already work.
You're Running a Single-Channel Campaign in a Multi-Channel Election.
Your Problem
Voters who don’t pick up the phone might respond to a text. Voters who ignore texts might answer a call from a local number. Running calls-only or texts-only from VAN leaves persuadable voters untouched on the channels they actually use.
The Fix
Campaign SMS Software + Political Texting Platform. All From VAN Lists. CallHub’s peer to peer p2p texting for political campaigns lets volunteers send individual-initiated conversations at scale. Our political campaign texting software supports SMS, MMS, and mass texting routes through 10DLC and toll-free numbers synchronized with VAN contact records in real time.
What You Get
Every Voter Contacted on the Channel They Respond To. Your campaign SMS software campaigns flow back into VAN automatically. Text responses trigger activist code updates, GOTV retargeting lists, and follow-up call queues, all without a single CSV export.
Your VAN Voter Universe Is Built. The Only Variable Left Is How Fast Your Political Campaign Software Reaches It.
Campaign managers who add campaign calling software and political texting to their VAN stack don’t change how their field program works. They change how many voters it reaches per hour, and how many channels it reaches them on. Before November, that’s the only metric that matters.
✓ Direct two-way NGP VAN sync — every call result, code, and RSVP flows back automatically
✓ 3–5x agent throughput on the same headcount — no additional staff, no extra budget
✓ TCPA-compliant FastClick and predictive dialer — reach cell and landline VAN lists at scale, legally

Compliant Texting
Reach Voters. Not Spam Folders. Not TCPA Lawsuits.
When October Volume Spikes, Your Compliance Stack Is the Difference Between Contact and Silence.
Political call and text volume peaks in the final weeks before Election Day, and so does carrier scrutiny. CallHub’s compliance stack is purpose-built for this environment.
TCPA-Compliant FastClick Dialer
CallHub’s FastClick dialer uses human-initiated calling (dedicated dialer agents manually queue calls) to reach both cell phones and landlines at speeds comparable to automated dialers while remaining TCPA and FCC compliant by design. This eliminates the need to scrub VAN lists for number type before dialing. As the leading TCPA compliant dialer for political campaigns, CallHub can scale dial rates up to 10x for last-minute GOTV phone banking software surges.
NGP VAN Predictive Dialer
CallHub’s NGP VAN predictive dialer mode connects agents only when live voters answer, eliminating dead dial time on VAN lists. Combined with the FastClick mode, your campaign can run the most efficient GOTV calling software operation possible without touching an ATDS.
NGP VAN Virtual Phone Bank
CallHub’s NGP VAN virtual phone bank lets volunteers make calls directly from their own smartphones or computers, no physical office required. The NGP VAN phone bank interface surfaces voter contact history, survey questions, and activist codes from VAN in a single view. Volunteers log results in real time; everything syncs back to VAN automatically.
Spam Label Shield
CallHub’s Spam Label Shield continuously monitors your caller IDs against carrier databases, FTC complaint databases, and third-party call-blocking apps (Nomorobo, Robokiller, TrueCaller). When a number is flagged, the system automatically replaces it with a clean number, no manual intervention, no campaign interruption. All flagged numbers and flag reasons are visible inside CallHub for inspection.
STIR/SHAKEN Verified Calling
All CallHub calls are STIR/SHAKEN compliant at no extra cost. Once registered, your calls display a “Caller Verified” badge on recipients’ phones instead of “Spam Likely.” CallHub handles submission to carriers and secures attestation on your behalf.
10DLC Registration (Official TCR Partner)
CallHub is an official Campaign Registry (TCR) partner and guides organizations through 10DLC registration, brand vetting, and trust scoring to secure higher throughput and better deliverability for political texting on VAN cell phone lists.
Know What Voters Are Saying Before the Weekly Debrief.
Stop Waiting for End-of-Week Reports. Start Pivoting in Real Time.
CallHub’s AI Smart Insights layer analyzes every call in your VAN-integrated campaign management software to produce:
- Real-time sentiment scores for each voter conversation.
- Automated call summaries that eliminate manual note review.
- One-click voter segments: strong supporters, persuadables, opposed, ready to become new targeted lists.
When AI sentiment trends show that a message frame is underperforming on persuasion calls, your campaign can pivot mid-week, not after the next all-hands meeting. Combined with CallHub’s iOS and Android mobile app for distributed political phone banking and P2P texting, your volunteers can scale high-quality voter outreach software operations from their own smartphones with minimal training.

Winning Stories from Real Campaigns
We couldn’t have hit our goals without CallHub. When other platforms were struggling, CallHub was a trusted partner who could easily scale up quickly when needed. Even more, CallHub could handle our small program needs across all channels; from texting 5 people to calling 5 million, we could trust CallHub.
Cost is one. We also really liked the user friendliness of CallHub on the agent side. We had consistent feedback from all kinds of volunteers of all ages and all abilities across the country that it was just really easy to use.
CallHub has become my go-to platform for affordable phone canvassing campaigns, voice broadcasts and text message blasts. In particular, text message blasts are the single most useful tool for volunteer mobilization that I have used in recent years.
The Questions You’re Asking Before You Click That CTA
1. Does CallHub replace NGP VAN?
No. VAN remains your voter database, targeting engine, and compliance backbone. CallHub is the execution layer for dialers, political campaign texting software, voice broadcasting, and automation that turn VAN data into voter conversations. Think of it as adding a turbocharger to an engine that’s already built, not replacing the engine.
2. How fast can we get set up?
Connecting your VAN API key to CallHub takes minutes. Importing your first saved list, mapping survey questions and activist codes, and launching your first campaign can happen within days. Most campaigns are fully operational within one week of signing up, making CallHub the fastest-deploying best political campaign software for VAN users.
3. Is calling to cell phones TCPA compliant?
Yes. CallHub’s FastClick dialer uses human-initiated calling, a dedicated dialer agent manually queues each call, which means it does not meet the TCPA’s definition of an automatic telephone dialing system. You can call mixed cell/landline VAN lists without number-type scrubbing.
4. What about texting compliance?
CallHub is an official Campaign Registry (TCR) partner and guides you through 10DLC registration, brand vetting, and trust scoring. Our political texting platform supports both peer-to-peer texting for political campaigns (individual-initiated conversations) and mass texting routes through registered 10DLC, toll-free, or short code numbers, depending on your use case and volume needs.
5. Can we run calls AND texts from the same VAN list?
Yes. CallHub’s voter outreach software and workflow automation let you retarget contacts across channels based on live responses. A voter who doesn’t answer a call can automatically receive a follow-up text. A voter who responds to a text with “I need a ride to the polls” can be flagged in VAN with an activist code and routed into a GOTV call campaign, all without manual CSV handoffs.
6. We're already running VPB Connect through VAN. Why would we add CallHub?
VPB Connect is the right foundation — it’s built into VAN, your volunteers already know it, and it handles standard phone bank operations. The question is whether its dial rate ceiling is compatible with your November timeline. If your operation needs to contact more than 50,000 voters in the final six weeks across calls, political SMS, and voice drops, VPB Connect’s manual-speed dialing will be the bottleneck — not your volunteers, not your list.
CallHub is political campaign software that layers a TCPA-compliant predictive dialer, campaign calling software, peer-to-peer political texting, political campaign SMS, and political canvassing software tools on top of your existing VAN instance without replacing it. Your voter data stays in VAN. Your field directors keep working in VAN. The difference is your 8-person phone bank now has the throughput of a 30-person operation, and every channel calls, texts, and canvassing sessions sync back to VAN automatically.
If you want to know whether your current dial rate is on pace for your voter universe, book a 30-minute throughput audit. We’ll run the numbers against your specific list size and timeline and tell you whether you have a gap, with no obligation to proceed.
The 2026 Midterms Won’t Wait. Your Ground Game Shouldn’t Either.
Primaries are already underway. The general election is months away. Every week your VAN data sits in a slow outreach loop is a week of voter contacts your opponent is making, and you aren’t. CallHub’s NGP VAN integration gives your campaign the dialers, political campaign texting software, compliance stack, and AI intelligence to turn VAN’s best-in-class voter data into a best-in-class ground game.
