Mandate Civic: nonpartisan engagement for the cities people are moving to.
A neutral, governmental-grade instance your city licenses on an annual contract — to engage residents, run nonpartisan election and turnout outreach, and communicate areawide. Built for the clerks, communications directors, and city managers of the fastest-growing county in America.
Nonpartisan by design. Procured by the city — never by a candidate.
Your residents change faster than your list can.
In a city where most of the population is new, the hardest part of governing is simply reaching the people who live there.
Collin County is the nation's #2 fastest-growing county, and cities like Frisco, Princeton, and Celina are among the fastest-growing in the country. When 83% of that growth is people moving in, the household roster behind your newsletter, your election notices, and your public-meeting outreach is out of date almost the moment it's printed. The result: new neighbors who never learned when to vote, where their polling place is, or that a bond was on the ballot — not because the city stayed silent, but because the message went to the residents who used to live there.
A static mailing list is out of date the day you buy it. A live civic platform isn't.
Collin County added roughly 43,000 residents in a single year. The people you need to reach this year are not the people you reached last year — and a static roster can't keep up.
More than four in five new residents moved in from somewhere else. They don't know your meeting schedule, your election dates, or where they vote — unless your city tells them.
Cities like Frisco, Princeton, and Celina run real, contested elections on the Texas May uniform date — turnout your city has a neutral, nonpartisan interest in raising.
One civic platform. Engage, inform, turn out.
The Civic contract bundles resident engagement, nonpartisan election outreach, and areawide communication into a single governmental-grade instance — with a team behind it.
Resident engagement
Reach, segment, and stay in two-way contact with the households that actually live in your city today — not a mailing list assembled three growth cycles ago. New movers get welcomed and informed instead of slipping through the cracks.
- Live resident universe
- Two-way messaging
- New-mover outreach
Nonpartisan election outreach
Drive turnout and civic participation the way only a city can: tell every household when, where, and how to vote, what's on their ballot, and how to register — neutrally, with no party gate and no candidate attached.
- Turnout & GOTV outreach
- Polling-place & ballot info
- Registration drives
Areawide communication
One platform to push citywide announcements, public-meeting notices, bond and election information, and emergency updates across mail, SMS, and digital — coordinated, on-brand, and measurable.
- Citywide announcements
- Mail · SMS · digital
- Open & reach reporting
Dedicated onboarding & support
A governmental-grade rollout with dedicated onboarding for your communications team and the clerk's office, role-based access for staff, and a support relationship that lasts the length of the contract — not a ticket queue.
- Guided onboarding
- Role-based staff access
- Named support contact
Civic
Cities buying a nonpartisan instance for resident engagement & election outreach.
A city can't take a side. Its software shouldn't either.
Neutrality isn't a feature you toggle on. For a government tool, it's the entire requirement.
The partisan platforms gate their data by party — which makes them structurally unusable for a government that has to serve every resident equally. Mandate Civic carries no party login and no candidate data. It exists to inform residents and raise participation, never to elect anyone. That's what lets a city secretary or communications director stand behind it in public, and what keeps your outreach defensible to every council member and every resident, regardless of how they vote.
Serves every resident equally
No party gate, no ideological filter — one neutral channel to every household in the city.
Outreach, not advocacy
Turnout, polling places, ballot info, and registration — never a candidate or a position.
Defensible in public
Built for a government to own openly: auditable, on-brand, and answerable to the whole council.
Mandate Civic isn't a campaign. It's the city's instance.
Candidates and cities sit on opposite sides of the ballot. We built a separate edition so the line is never blurred.
Candidate plans
Bought by a campaign
- Licensed by a candidate or consultant, per election cycle
- Built to win a specific seat — field, GOTV, fundraising, compliance
- Partisan-friendly: every candidate, every party
Mandate Civic
Bought by the city
- Licensed by the municipality on an annual contract
- Built to engage residents and raise participation — no candidate data
- Strictly nonpartisan: serves every resident, takes no side
The two never share data. A city's Civic instance holds resident-engagement and outreach information only — no candidate operations, no campaign finance, no party affiliation gate. That separation is what makes Civic safe for a government to run.

What is Mandate Civic?
Mandate Civic is a nonpartisan, governmental-grade instance of the Mandate platform that a city licenses on an annual contract — not a candidate. It is built for resident engagement, nonpartisan election and turnout outreach, and areawide communication: reaching the people who actually live in your city, keeping them informed, and driving civic participation. It is the neutral, city-owned counterpart to the candidate tools, run by your staff under your brand.
Who buys Mandate Civic?
The city does — typically the city manager, the communications or public-information director, or the city secretary / clerk. Mandate Civic is procured by the municipality itself, on an annual contract, the same way a city licenses any other governmental software. It is never bought by or for a candidate, and it takes no side in any race.
How is Mandate Civic nonpartisan?
By design and by architecture. The Civic instance carries no party login, no ideological gate, and no candidate data — it is a neutral municipal tool for reaching residents and encouraging participation, not for electing anyone. The same nonpartisan voter and resident data that lets a city tell every household when and where to vote is exactly what makes it safe for a government to operate. Mandate serves candidates of every party and none; the Civic edition serves the city, full stop.
Is Mandate Civic an annual contract?
Yes. Cities license Mandate Civic on an annual contract billed to the municipality — not per cycle like a candidate plan. The contract includes a city-wide, governmental-grade instance, dedicated onboarding and support, and the full resident-engagement, election-outreach, and areawide-communication toolset. Talk to our team for scope and pricing tailored to your city's size.
How is this different from CivicPlus or GovPilot?
Those platforms are built around the back office — meeting agendas, permits, 311 requests, and a city website. Mandate Civic is built around the resident: nonpartisan election and turnout outreach, two-way engagement with the households actually living in your fast-growing city, and areawide communication that reaches new movers a static mailing list never will. It complements your CMS and agenda tools rather than replacing them — it does the outreach those systems were never designed to do.
Which cities and areas does Mandate Civic serve?
Mandate was built in Frisco for Collin County — the #2 fastest-growing county in the nation — and Civic is available to cities across Collin County, North Dallas, and the rest of Texas. Frisco, Princeton, Celina, Prosper, McKinney, Plano, Allen and their fast-growing neighbors face the same challenge: a resident base that turns over constantly. If your city is growing, Civic is built for exactly your problem.
Reach the city you actually have.
Engage every resident, run nonpartisan election outreach, and communicate areawide — from one governmental-grade platform.
Tell us your city and its population, and we'll show you how Mandate Civic keeps a fast-changing community informed and participating — on a single annual contract, with a team behind it.
