What is VAN?

VAN (Voter Activation Network) is a database and software platform used primarily by political campaigns and organizations for voter outreach, volunteer management, and data analysis. It helps campaigns identify and target specific voter groups, track interactions with voters, and manage volunteer efforts more effectively. The term VAN is often associated with NGP VAN, a widely used provider of such services, especially within the Democratic party in the United States. The platform helps streamline voter contact and mobilization efforts.
