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.)
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).
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).
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.
