The Petition Report

Once your supporters have signed the petition you created, you will want to pull a report so you can send it to the legislators who need to see it. VoterVoice provides you with a standard report that includes the most salient information, but you can also create a custom report. 

Petition Insights

Click on the Reports menu and choose the Petition option. This will bring you to the Petition Insights, first showing you a history of your active petitions that can be filtered by variables such as date of last activity or whether the petition is currently accepting new signatures. 

Click on the "view report" option to the right of the petition you wish to investigate further. You will come to the Insights page for that particular petition - a page that highlights the following:

• the name of the petition, the number of signatures, and the timeframe over which those signatures were added

Note that at the top of this page there are two important buttons: one to show you a full list of signers that you can download and style as you wish and one to download a pdf showing the same view of the Petition Insights. 

• a map of the general locations of all petition signers

• a summary of the metrics for any broadcast you sent driving supporters to this petition

• a summary of times the petition was shared on social media

The Standard Petition Report

From the Petiiton Insights page, click on the "view old report" link in the top-right corner of the page. This will bring you to a report with two graphs, shown below. 

Click on the "total" box of the Signatures by Date Graph. You will see a pop-up with the names, general locations, and signature dates of the signers, as well as an option to "download PDF."

Download the PDF. That will give you a PDF that includes the name, headline, and body of the petition, as well as the information for the petition signers. 

Custom Petition Reports

If the information included above does not suit your needs, you will have to create a custom petition report. To do this, go to the Petition Insights page and click the button toward the top-left corner to view the participant list; then click the button to download that information as a csv.

This will give you a csv file that includes all the user information for the people who signed your petition. It does not include the date and time they signed the petition. You can use the information contained within this file to create a document on your end that includes only what you want to be included - just delete the unnecessary fields from the csv file and paste the remaining information into a document of your creation on your local computer. 

We suggest that you add the body of the petition to the top of that document and that you try to limit the information you include to what can fit on a single line. 

The example below was created by downloading the list of petition signers, removing the fields I didn't want to display, and taking a screenshot of the remaining results. I then created a new document, added the title and petition text at the top, and pasted the screenshot below it.
