LODGING POLICY

Effective January 2026 – Out-of-State Petitioners Only

  • Eligibility:

    • Lodging is only offered to out-of-state petitioners.

    • Lodging remains not guaranteed and is subject to approval and availability, even if performance benchmarks are met.

  • Base lodging pay reduction:

    • When lodging is covered, your pay is reduced by $1.00 per signature, per issue (petition) you are carrying for that week.

  • Definition of a “SET”:

    • 1 SET = 1 voter signing each petition you are carrying.

    • Example: If you are carrying 7 petitions and one voter signs all 7, that’s 1 set (7 signatures).

    • If you choose to carry fewer petitions, you must collect more total signatures to reach the same number of sets

    WEEKLY EXPECTATIONS & PERFORMANCE TIERS

    (Weeks run Monday through Sunday and reset every week.)

    1. Minimum to keep lodging – 100 sets/week

      • You must collect at least 100 sets in a single Monday–Sunday week.

      • If you do not hit 100 sets in any week, you lose lodging access, and will revert to standard street price pay with no lodging going forward (unless re-approved later).

    2. Performance bump – 200 sets/week (must carry all petitions)

      • If you are carrying all available petitions and collect 200 sets in a week:

        • Your lodging reduction improves to $0.50 per signature, per issue for that respective week (instead of $1.00 off).

    3. Full street price – 300 sets/week

      • If you collect 300 sets in a week:

        • You receive full “street price” pay per petition (no lodging reduction) for that respective week, while still having lodging covered.

    • Reset:

      • All counts and lodging/pay adjustments reset every Monday.

      • Each week stands alone: your rate for one week does not carry over to the next.
