Sometimes you don’t want to describe voters by attributes — you want everyone inside a specific block, neighborhood, or street boundary. The Carve Area tool lets you draw directly on the map.

​
Using area selection on a list

  1. Open any saved list (Dashboard → Lists → [your list])
  2. Click Carve Area in the list header
  3. A full-screen map opens showing all voters in the list as dots
  4. Click on the map to start drawing a polygon — click each corner, double-click to close
  5. Voters inside the polygon are highlighted and counted
  6. Give the sub-list a name and click Create List
The new list contains only the voters inside your drawn area. The original list is unchanged.

​
What you can do with carve areas

  • Cut a neighborhood or subdivision out of a larger walk list
  • Build a hyper-local GOTV list for a single apartment complex or street
  • Target a specific precinct boundary that doesn’t align with subdivision lines
  • Create “last mile” lists for election day canvassing of a specific block

​
Map layers

While using area selection, you can enable FBCAD boundary layers to help orient yourself:
  • Precincts — official county precinct boundaries with numbers
  • Sections — parcel section boundaries
  • Blocks — individual block-level parcels
Toggle layers with the Layers button in the top-right corner of the map.
Voter dots are placed at the actual parcel centroid (house lot), not the street centerline — so what you see on the map is where people actually live.
