Blocks for voter registration
Blocks works with the largest voter registration advocacy organizations in the US.
Manage the complex process of voter registration within a workflow tailor-made to navigate the collection challenges of any state.
Canvassing shifts
Blocks keeps a record of all the canvassing shifts that occurred, the location, hours spent on the ground and how many registrations were collected. All of this information feeds into our registration reports to help you find critical information, such as which locations yield the best results, how different canvassers compare to each other and which shifts are most effective at registering key demographics.
- Track separate shift hours
- Track time spent on the ground
- Assign shift location
- Add shift notes
Canvasser profile
You can delve deeper into the performance and history of a particular canvasser in the canvasser profile view. Here, you can measure dozens of different performance metrics and benchmark canvassers against the average canvasser in their organization.
The canvasser profile also provides an easy way to see all pertinent information about a canvasser in one place. This includes any quality control flags they may have triggered, feedback received about them from registrants and a record of all their previous shifts.
- Powerful and precise report charts
- Compare canvasser to average performance accross many metrics
- See a summary of all pertinent canvasser information
- Keep track of canvasser activity in one place
Packet uploads and OCR
Once your canvassers return from their shifts, they can scan their paper forms and upload them to Blocks. Blocks will read the contents of the scans using optical character recognition (OCR) and store the written information as data.
Quality control
Organizations can take their forms through a rigorous quality control process that includes both visual and phone verification. Users can review each form and check for completion and accuracy and call registrants in the browser to verify that they registered over the phone.
Blocks can be configured to generate flags automatically when certain key things are found during quality control. This can help your team identify outliers, trends in registration packets or canvasser anomalies.

- Manual and automated review assignment
- Detailed performance reports and data visualizations
- Allow reviewers to point out issues found
- Make phone verification calls in the browser
