Leaflet rounds on paper or phone.

Hand a round out as an assignment, on paper or by QR code, and watch progress come in round by round. A drop uses the rounds the ward already has.

A leaflet drop's page for Chalkwell: the map showing each round's boundary coloured by progress, delivered, in progress and not yet assigned, with the door meter and a tile for each round beneath it.

Every ward in Cadrify has a set of rounds, generated from the road network, drawn by hand or imported from a file, and door-knocking and leaflet delivery share them. A leaflet drop names the piece of literature, sets its dates and picks who should receive it. There is no second map to draw and no separate list of streets to keep in step.

Leave targeting on all households and the drop covers every addressable property in each round. Apply a saved filter and it narrows to the households with a matching electorElector nounA person entitled to vote who appears on the electoral register at their address.In Cadrify Every elector is a single ongoing record in Cadrify. Door-knock history, score, voting history and contact details all attach to that one person across every register import and every campaign that uses it., so a leaflet for postal voters or for supporters goes only where it should. Round counts, printed sheets and the deliverer's screen all follow the same list.

Rounds go out to volunteers the same three ways as door-knocking: an assignment on their home page, a printed sheet or a single-use QR code. Because a leaflet round shows addresses and never register data, the code can be anonymous, which suits the helper who takes a bundle on a Saturday morning and is gone by lunch.

How a drop works

1

Name the drop and choose who receives it

Give the drop a name volunteers will recognise, set a start and a due date if you have them, and add a note about the leaflet. Upload a thumbnail so a deliverer can check they are carrying the right one.

Targeting defaults to all households. Choose one of the ward's saved filters instead and the drop keeps only the addresses where at least one elector matches.

The rounds are ready at once

The drop opens with a tile for every round in the ward, each with its household count and its state. Nothing has to be built or waited for. The door meter across the top counts the doors in rounds a deliverer has finished and the doors in rounds that are out with someone now.

Each tile has its own PDF, and Download all round PDFs bundles the whole drop. A drop with more than 8 rounds renders its bundle in the background and tells you when it is ready.

Hand rounds out

Assign a round to one or more team members and it appears on their home page, ready to open. Choose paper and the round's sheet prints with the map and the addresses it covers.

Choose QR code for anyone without an account. A leaflet code can be fully anonymous, since the deliverer sees addresses only. Codes for this task lists every code you have issued, and a code can be revoked at any moment.

Deliver from a phone

The deliverer opens the round and sees its boundary on the map, the drop's due date and any instructions the organiser left for that round. A targeted drop lists each door to reach with a tick box, and tapping a door centres the map on it.

Ticks are kept on the phone as the deliverer's own progress. Mark in progress and Mark done update the round for everyone, and marking done closes the round for anyone sharing it, with a short debrief for the deliverer.

Watch it go out

The ward's Leaflets tab lists every drop with its thumbnail and progress, and the Assignments view shows who holds which round. Deliverers who leave location sharing on appear on the live map for the organiser while their round is active, alongside the door-knockers.

Progress is counted in doors, taken from the rounds marked done and the rounds out with someone. The note under the meter says what the bar counts and what it leaves out.

In practice

The monthly newsletter

Create a drop called March newsletter with a due date at the end of the month and assign the same rounds to the same regulars. The whole ward is out for delivery. Next month, create the next one. The rounds do not change.

A leaflet for postal voters only

Save a filter for electors with a postal vote, then create the drop with that filter as its targeting. Each round shrinks to the households that match, the deliverer's screen lists those doors with a tick box each, and the printed sheet shows only those addresses.

A helper who cannot use a phone

Assign the round on paper. The sheet has the map and every address. Mark the round done on the drop page when the bundle comes back empty.

A constituency-wide drop

From a campaign group, one drop can cover several wards. It fans out into a drop per ward, each on that ward's own rounds, with a single progress figure and one bundle of PDFs for the lot.

Letting volunteers pick their own

Publish the drop to the ward's volunteer hub and members reserve rounds themselves, up to a cap you set. A reservation is a real assignment, so it shows on the drop page like any other, and you can block out the rounds you want to keep back.

FAQ

Do I have to draw anything?

No. A drop uses the rounds the ward already has. If the ward has none yet, generate them from the road network first and the drop is ready as soon as they are.

Can I see which doors have been delivered?

Progress is tracked by round. A deliverer marks a round in progress and done, and the meter counts the doors in those rounds. The tick boxes on a targeted round are the deliverer's own checklist and stay on their phone.

What does a deliverer see about electors?

Nothing. A leaflet round shows addresses, the round boundary and the organiser's instructions. That is why a QR code for a leaflet round can be anonymous, where a door-knocking code always asks for a name.

Does the phone view need a signal?

It loads the round once and the ticks are stored on the phone. Marking the round in progress or done and sharing location need a connection.

Is location sharing on by default?

For a signed-in deliverer, yes, for their safety, and they can switch it off from the round. Organisers see the latest position for 30 minutes and pings are deleted after 12 hours.

Can I change the targeting after volunteers have started?

Yes, and the change is immediate on their screens, so the door list they are working from moves under them. A second drop is usually cleaner than a change mid-flight.

Does it cost anything per drop?

No. Drops, rounds, PDFs and QR codes are all included. Only broadcast email, per-address geocoding and AI features are metered, as set out on the pricing page.

What this means for your campaign

Leaflet delivery uses the same maps and lists as door-knocking. The rounds the ward already uses for door-knocking carry the newsletter, the postal voter letter and the eve of poll leaflet, and the same volunteers take the same streets each time.

An organiser creates a drop and hands rounds out in whatever form each helper prefers. Progress is counted in doors as rounds are marked done.
