Troubleshoot Custom Voter audience creation or management issues
Unable to duplicate an audience
Ready, Processing, or Failed Custom Voter audiences can be duplicated by following the steps outlined in Duplicate a Custom Voter audience.
Unable to edit an audience
Editing isn’t currently supported for Custom Voter audiences. Consider duplicating the audience instead. You’ll have an opportunity to rename the audience, add or remove selected states and audience segments, and save those changes to a new audience.
Unable to delete an audience
You can delete audiences individually or in bulk. Every selected audience must be unassigned from all campaigns before you can delete them.
You can easily reference whether an audience is assigned to any campaigns in the Allowlist/Blocklist column. Audiences with an Allowlist/Blocklist value of 0 can be deleted.
Unable to locate a deleted audience
Deleted audiences are automatically removed from the Audiences as soon as you complete this action. For this reason, none of the Custom Voter audiences listed in the Audiences app will feature a Deleted status.
Custom Voter audience option is missing in Campaigns app
Custom Voter audience creation is enabled for Political advertisers. Confirm that your account and campaign meet Custom Voter audience eligibility requirements, and contact IQM’s support personnel if you believe that you should have access.
Troubleshoot Custom Voter audience targeting issues

Existing campaign - Unable to add to a PG campaign
Only Advanced campaigns are eligible for targeting Custom Voter audiences.
Existing campaign - Campaign is missing from list
If you’re attempting to add the Custom Voter audience to an existing campaign, and that campaign isn’t available in the Campaigns list, the campaign isn’t eligible for Custom Voter audience targeting or has already reached the maximum number of targeted audiences.
