There are 4 obvious types of electoral software, mostly basic excel
Electoral rolls in electronic form at election time , and marked register and postal vote list - some councils wont/cant normally release this but can be pressured to do so
Software to enable address label printing and individually named leaflets from the above.
Efficient Member/ex/enquirer/supporter name/contact list in electronic form by electoral ward local authority and constituency with system for recording and updating using willingness to help etc .
Individual Voter stance recording software with field sheet issue as used with impressive effect by Tory party who over a few years build up a database of every voter by perceived party and more important whether they are hard or potential swings and focus their doorstep effort accordingly.
UKIP has no plan for any branch election capability raising and hence gives branches no briefings/guidance on any of this in accordance with the old UKIP tradition of amateurship & branches struggling to reinvent the wheel.
