Introduction
In an effort to better track voters throughout the country and ease the flag importation process, PDI is introducing the PDI ID. The PDI ID will function in a similar manner to the previous Primary ID. It will be used to match voters during the flag import process and the data entry process.
All files generated in the program after April 1, 2019 will feature the PDI ID. Files generated before the April 1st update can still be imported into the system. If the file was a paper walk list or phone list, you will not notice any difference during the data entry process. If you are importing the file in the Import Flags page, you will need to make sure you are selecting the correct ID to successfully complete the match.
All IDs starting with the letters CA are PDI IDs, while all other IDs are traditional Primary IDs. To match to our previous Primary ID you will need to select the CAID option in the Select Matching Field drop down menu. Please click here for more information on importing flags.
