Maryland Voter File

What is the Maryland voter file?

The Maryland voter file is the official statewide list of registered voters maintained by the state election office. It typically includes voter names, addresses, party registration (where applicable), precinct, district, and voting history. Campaigns use it to organize canvassing, phone banking, and mail programs.

How to request the Maryland voter file

Once you have the file, you can import it into a political canvassing tool like Activate to organize volunteers and track outreach.

1. 1Confirm Maryland accepts your requestor type (Any person or organization that signs the required statement for electoral process purposes).
2. 2Visit the official Maryland election office request page.
3. 3Maryland sells the statewide list to any person or organization that signs a statement, under penalty of perjury, limiting use to the electoral process (Md. Code, Elec. Law § 3-506). Activate submits that application for your campaign, and the $125 file arrives by FTP within 10 working days.
