Welcome to the DFL VANual!
VAN (Voter Activation Network) is the primary tool Democratic campaigns nationwide use as an engine for voter contact, volunteer management, and GOTV efforts.
VAN is a powerful tool with many functions that will be helpful in managing your campaign. Even if you've used VAN on other campaigns, the DFL VAN has small differences you should know about.
The DFL Data Team has written extensive documentation on the various functions of VAN. Below, the articles are linked and listed in an order that makes sense for those new to VAN. Feel free to skip articles if you are already familiar with the topic.
