Voter data including voter tags and email addresses may be uploaded into Data Center using Tools > Upload New Data. The Upload Tool processes text files and Excel workbooks in CSV, XLS, and XLSX formats.
Voter data uploaded to GOP Data Center must contain one or more of these values for data matching:
Voter Key: the Voter Key (or Voter ID) value from GOP Data Center exports and database records
State Voter ID: the state jurisdiction voter identification value from state voter records
RNC Registration ID (RNC Reg ID): the RNC unique identifier (36 characters long with no blank or null values) from RNC voter data
Please contact support@gopdatacenter.com if you have any questions or need assistance with your uploaded data.
Follow these tips for setting up new upload files:
The file must contain unique column names.
Remove any unnecessary punctuation, including commas and quotation marks, from records to prevent any parsing errors.
Remove any records which contain missing or insufficient matching field values.
If matching on RNC Reg ID, all records must contain a value in the unique identifier format.
When adding email addresses, a column with the full email address must be provided for mapping.
Multiple Voter Tags
A column containing the value to be mapped by tag name must be provided.
Email Addresses
A valid email address must be provided with each record.
