Goals, Non-Goals & Personas

Clarity on what the Halifax-first MVP will and won’t tackle, and the core jobs it must enable.

Goals

Find the Right People Fast

Enable fuzzy name search and intuitive filters so organizers can locate the correct voters or addresses using minimal input.

Minimize Data Friction

Deliver a no-training-required experience that is mobile-ready, supports keyboard navigation, and keeps high-contrast visuals at the forefront.

Export-Ready Outputs

Provide clean CSV and PDF outputs that volunteers can use immediately for canvassing and Election-Day operations.

Respect Privacy & Compliance

Operate within North Carolina data-sharing rules, preserving auditability and privacy expectations.

Non-Goals for Phase 1

Personas

County Organizer

Power user responsible for building filtered lists, assigning turf, and coordinating turnout operations.

Volunteer

Casual user looking up voter records or polling locations in the field, often on a mobile device.

Data Lead

Administrator who refreshes data weekly, validates quality, and ensures exports align with policy.

Core Jobs to Be Done

Phase 1 Scope Snapshot

The MVP covers Halifax County with fuzzy search, robust filtering on voter-file and history fields, and exportable tables with accessibility built in. Subsequent phases build on this foundation to add precinct context, AddressNC insights, and action tooling.
