Election and voter data
Data containing voter registration information is available for purchase from the County Elections Department for campaign purposes only. (Elections Code §2187(g) and §2188)
An application must be completed that includes a detailed explanation of how the data will be used, which will undergo a review and approval process. All applications must be received with an original wet signature, a clear copy of applicant’s current valid driver’s license or state identification card, any accompanying documentation, and payment before the application will be reviewed. Election data requests are processed in the order they are received and may take 2-3 business days for completion. Applications, instructions, and pricing can be found on our Purchasing Voter Registration Information page.

- Voter registration data may not be sold, leased, loaned, reproduced, or possession thereof relinquished without receiving written authorization from the Secretary of State.
