Sure thing! If you already have access to VAN (VoteBuilder) through your local Democratic organization or state party, you can absolutely use your access to build your targeting audiences using any of the parameters available in VAN. Just build a new list, and export it as a .csv file with at least the following information, each in separate columns:

  • VAN ID (other unique ID)
  • Full Voter Name
  • Physical Address
  • City
  • State
  • Zip

**Please note, this list should be exported as individuals, not households. Households in the name column will kick back an error message. 


Optional information that also helps:
  • Email Address (include as many as are in the file - one per column)
  • Phone Number (include as many as are in the file - one per column)
You will then want to format your .csv file into the Audience Data Template before uploading it to the platform. .


From your Turn It Blue Ads account, you can create your audience ahead of time by navigating to 'My Audiences' then,

Please note: Hulu and Roku do not accept CRM or Voter File audience matching. If your Standard CTV campaign is set to a CRM or Voter File audience, and you also select Hulu or Roku add-ons, we will default to your geo-targeting selection plus a "likely voter" screen for your Hulu and Roku buys. Reach out to our Client Success team at success@turnitbluedigtal.com if you would like to adjust this targeting.
