Built on a real Ontario council campaign
Campaign software for the doorstep.
Hustings runs your ground game — the map, the doors, the supporters, election day. Sign up in five minutes. We hand you a live campaign in two business days.
No credit card for Starter · Your data is yours, every plan, forever
Real product, real ward — every house, tappable.
Form 1 — What you get
The field kit
Volunteers need a phone browser and a link we text them. No app store. No training session. No laminated maps.
Every house on a map
Your whole ward or town, every address tappable. Volunteers tap the house, tap what happened, move on. Search any address; filter to the doors worth a second knock.
Turf for every volunteer
Assign neighbourhoods to each canvasser. Their map opens on their streets — no spreadsheets, no screenshots of paper maps in a group chat.
Works in dead zones
No signal at the door? Entries save on the phone and sync themselves when coverage returns. Nothing gets lost between the porch and the database.
Election day, handled
Every supporter you identified all summer becomes a strike list in October: who's voted, who to pull, printable sheets for the scrutineers, call buttons for the drivers.
One supporter list
Doors, volunteers, newsletter signups, and donors merge into one person each — so you finally know who your people are, and election day starts organized.
Your data is yours
Each campaign runs on its own private database. Full CSV export on every plan, always. Leave whenever you like and take everything with you.
Form 2 — How it works
Signed up today, knocking this week
Tell us your race
A five-minute form: your name, your municipality, the office you're running for. That's everything we need to start.
⏱ 5 minutes
We build your map
We load every address in your territory from your city's open data, set your name and colours, and send sign-in links for your volunteers.
⏱ 1–2 business days
Knock
Volunteers open the link on their phone and start logging doors. You watch supporters add up on the live dashboard.
⏱ all the way to October 26
Form 3 — Pricing
Plain prices, proper invoices
Everything is in Canadian dollars, invoiced so it slots straight into your campaign's financial filing. For scale: the comparable platform charges $295/month plus $150/month for a website.

Your data is yours. Every plan. Forever.
Every campaign on Hustings runs on its own private database. Your supporter list never sits in a shared pool, we never mine it, we never sell it, and no other campaign — including ours — can see it.
The exit door is always open: full CSV export on every plan, including the free one. We'd rather earn October than lock the doors in June.
Form 4 — Questions
Asked at the door
How fast can we actually be knocking?+
Sign up today and your workspace is typically live within two business days — that's us loading every address in your territory, putting your name on it, and sending sign-in links for your volunteers. Many campaigns knock their first doors the same week they sign up.
What do you need from me?+
The five-minute form: your municipality, the office you're seeking, and your ward if your race has one. We pull addresses from your city's published open data — you don't have to supply anything.
Do volunteers have to install an app?+
No. They get a personal sign-in link by email or text and open it in their phone's browser. If a volunteer goes rogue, you revoke their link with one tap.
What happens with no cell signal?+
Doors logged in a dead zone save on the phone and sync automatically when coverage comes back. Nothing is lost.
What about the official voters' list?+
Your map starts from your municipality's open address data, so you can canvass from day one. When your clerk releases the voters' list to you as a certified candidate, we'll load it into your private database on request.
Who's behind this?+
Hustings is a Ledeux Holdings product, built in Guelph, Ontario by Jon Christensen — who built it first for his own 2026 council campaign and runs his race on it today. It exists because the alternatives were expensive, American, or both.
Can I cancel? Can I leave?+
Monthly plans cancel anytime. The flat plan simply runs to election day. Either way you can export everything — people, doors, notes — as CSV whenever you like.
Nominations close in 73 days. Doors don't knock themselves.
