Cracking the Code on Unaffiliated and NPA Voters: How DataZapp Empowers Political Campaigns

The Challenge: A Growing Unaffiliated Electorate

Roughly 35% of U.S. registered voters today are unaffiliated, including NPAs (No Party Affiliation), independents, and third-party voters. The number is even higher in states that do not require party registration, such as Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. These voters often fly under the radar because they aren’t tied to a specific party—creating a significant targeting blind spot for campaigns.

Why It Matters: Unpredictable Yet Powerful

While unaffiliated voters are difficult to target with relevant messaging, they are often decisive in close elections. Their unpredictability and mixed affiliations make crafting resonant messaging tricky—campaigns can’t rely on standard party-driven narratives. But ignoring them isn't an option. Independents and NPAs routinely determine the outcome in battleground districts and swing states.

DataZapp’s AI-Powered Solution

To tackle this, DataZapp has built an advanced machine learning model designed specifically to predict party leaning using a blend of demographic, geographic, and behavioral data. This model analyzes both registered and unregistered individuals, using nuanced signals to forecast whether someone leans Democrat, Republican, or otherwise.

This time-tested model—refined since the 2024 general election—has consistently delivered 65% to 80% real-world accuracy. With this level of accuracy, the model helps campaigns:

• Prioritize outreach efforts

• Align fundraising strategies

• Personalize messaging and issue targeting for greater impact

Rather than guessing, campaigns can now confidently target these voters using DataZapp’s party leaning indicator.
