For campaigns with fewer than 500 contacts, a spreadsheet might work. Beyond that, you need political CRM software for several reasons:

• Duplicate prevention: Avoid calling the same voter multiple times
• Interaction history: See every call, text, email, and door knock in one timeline
• Smart segmentation: Target swing voters differently than strong supporters
• Volunteer coordination: Multiple team members can work simultaneously without overwriting data
• Integration power: Connect your voter communication software with fundraising, field operations, and analytics

CallHub integrates with all major political CRMs. But if you’re working out of a spreadsheet, you can simply upload it to your account and start campaigning too. 

CallHub offers real-time two-way sync with major political CRM software platforms:

What syncs automatically:

• New contacts added to your CRM appear instantly in CallHub
• Call dispositions, survey responses, and text replies update your CRM in real-time
• Tags, custom fields, and supporter levels stay synchronized
• Donation pledges and volunteer sign-ups flow back to your CRM

CallHub offers direct one click integrations with NationBuilder, NGP VAN, Action Network, Salesforce, EveryAction, and Blackbaud. Furthermore, it can also integrate with 2,000+ apps via Zapier.

This means your political phone banking software, texting tools, and email campaigns all share the same voter data—no manual exports or imports needed.

Look for platforms that offer:

• SOC 2 Type II compliance: Ensures regular third-party audits of security controls
• Data encryption: Both in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest
• Role-based access control: Limit what volunteers and staff can see and do
• GDPR/CCPA compliance: Critical if you’re reaching voters in California or international audiences
• Regular security audits: Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments

CallHub maintains enterprise-grade security with GDRP, HIPAA, ISO, CCPA, and SOC 2 Type II certification, end-to-end encryption, and robust access controls.

Political autodialers come in three types, each suited for different scenarios:

Predictive Dialer

• Calls multiple numbers simultaneously per agent
• Connects agents only when someone answers
• Best for: Large GOTV pushes with paid staff
• Speed: 4-5X faster than manual dialing

Power Dialer

• Calls one number at a time per agent
• Moves to the next call when agent presses “next” button.
• Best for: Persuasion calls, fundraising, volunteer phone banks
• Speed: 3X faster than manual dialing

Preview Dialer

• Shows agent the contact info before calling
• Agent clicks to dial when ready
• Best for: High-value donors, VIP outreach
• Speed: 2X faster with better preparation

People are significantly more likely to answer calls from local area codes. CallHub’s Dynamic Caller ID automatically displays a phone number that matches each voter’s location.

When using our call tool for political campaigns, all you have to do is upload your contact list and the system automatically selects the best caller ID based on the contact’s area code.

Branching scripts guide volunteers through conversations by showing different responses based on how voters answer.

Example flow:

“Are you planning to vote on November 5th?”

• Yes → Script branches to “That’s great! Can we count on your support for [Candidate]?”
• No/Unsure → Script branches to “Can I help you find your polling location?”
• Already voted → Script branches to “Thank you! Would you be interested in volunteering?”

Why they work:

• Volunteers never freeze or fumble for what to say next
• Every response feels natural and prepared
• New volunteers sound as confident as experienced callers
• Complex persuasion conversations become manageable

All CallHub political phone banking software campaigns support unlimited branching with no technical setup required.

Carrier spam filters flag numbers based on call volume, complaint rates, and calling patterns. Here’s how to stay protected:

Best practices:

• Register with STIR/SHAKEN: Verify your caller ID authenticity (CallHub is fully compliant)
• Use local caller IDs: Rotating local numbers reduces spam flags
• Monitor call volume: Don’t blast thousands of calls from one number instantly
• Respect Do Not Call lists: Even though political calls are exempt, honoring requests builds goodwill

CallHub’s political calling service includes built-in spam protection, number rotation, and reputation monitoring to keep your campaign’s numbers clean throughout the election cycle. All you have to do is enable the “Spam Label Shield”. 

Yes! CallHub offers three ways for volunteers to join:

1. Web browser (most popular)
Volunteers log in from any computer—no downloads or installations needed.

2. Mobile app
Our political campaign app for iOS and Android lets volunteers make calls and send texts from their smartphones. Perfect for distributed organizing where buying devices isn’t feasible.

3. Dial-in phone banking
Volunteers can call a toll-free number and join campaigns using just their regular phone—no internet required.

All three methods save you thousands of dollars on equipment costs while making it easier to recruit remote volunteers.

Relational organizing turns your supporters into organizers by empowering them to reach out to their own personal networks—the most trusted form of political persuasion.

How it works:

• Supporters sign up to the relational organizing app
• They identify friends and family who should vote for your candidate
• Your campaign provides scripts, talking points, and voter info
• Supporters reach out via text, call, or in-person conversations
• They report back on voter sentiment and commitments

Why it’s powerful:

• Personal recommendations are 10X more effective than campaign ads
• Each volunteer can reach 20-50 people in their network
• Costs almost nothing compared to paid outreach
• Works for persuasion, GOTV, and volunteer recruitment

With CallHub’s mobile app for volunteers, relational organizing becomes as easy as sending a text to their friends and families via their phone. 

CallHub charges based on usage (calls, texts sent), not agent seats—meaning you can have unlimited volunteers and staff on the platform at no extra cost.

What this means for your campaign:

• Add 10 volunteers or 10,000 volunteers—same price
• No per-user fees that eat into your budget
• Scale your phone banking and texting operations without worrying about seat licenses
• Perfect for distributed organizing with volunteers across multiple states

You only pay for actual voter outreach—calls made, texts sent, and emails delivered. This makes our political campaign call center software significantly more affordable than competitors who charge per-seat.
