What is the method used for householding the selection?
Two voters at the same address with the same surname are in the same household. The first part of your selection works as usual: individual voter records qualify for selects based on their individual features. Our Householding method relies on the fact that the statewide voter file has been processed for Householding already. During this process, each record is assigned a Household number unique within each county. Members of a common Household are assigned the same Household number if they are determined to be in the same Household. NOTE: Generally, voters are considered to be in the same Household if they share the following in common: home ZIP, home street name, home pre-direction, home post direction, home house number, last name and home apartment number. To get a count of Unique Households check the Unique Households count option on the right side toolbar on VLO 2.0. To Purchase a Householded File (one voter per household) select Households in Step Two of the Purchase process.
