State rep, commissioner, school board, levy committee — every local race needs the same thing: the voters of one county or district, sorted for doors and mail. Here are the real options and what they cost.
The state itself sells the raw file — cheapest, but it arrives as a huge unsorted export you still have to cut. Your county party may share access to VAN or a state file, with strings and wait times attached. Data vendors sell the cut directly: you pick the county, district, party mix, and segment, and download a CSV in minutes. We're the third kind — county packs from $0.03 per record, no contract.
Most local campaigns buy a likely-voter universe for their district — turnout-scored records at $0.10 — for doors and mail, plus the fresh registrants ($0.12) nobody else has touched. Our down-ballot tool cuts by state house, state senate, or congressional district directly.
Walk and mail programs run August through October. A list bought in July gets worked three times; the same list bought in mid-October gets worked once. Buy the universe early, refresh the fresh-registrant slice monthly as the registration deadline approaches.
VoterVault sells public-record voter and donor data for campaigns, committees, and consultants. Buyers are responsible for compliance with their state's election-data use rules.
