| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Voter file | The original source list of eligible voters or electors. | Usually static and not enough by itself for outreach history or volunteer workflows. |
| Voter database software | Turning the voter file into a working campaign system with statuses, notes, lists, and follow-up. | Needs responsible data handling, clear access controls, and campaign discipline. |
| Campaign CRM | Managing broader relationships, supporters, donors, volunteers, and public form activity. | Generic CRMs may not understand polls, households, voter IDs, or GOTV without customization. |
