The short version.
The Alabama voter registration file is a public record you request from the state elections office. You pay a fee, sign a use affidavit, and get the list of registered voters for your district — names, addresses, and registration details. Then you hand it to Motion51 and we load it, geocode it, and cut your turf.
Alabama's voter list got dramatically cheaper in 2026. A new law (HB 67, signed April 17, 2026) caps the entire statewide electronic list at $1,000 -- down from roughly $37,000 under the old penny-per-record price -- and removes Social Security numbers and email addresses from the file.

What's in the file?
Standard voter-registration data. Under the 2026 law, Social Security numbers and email addresses are no longer included.
Do I have to load the file into Motion51 myself?
No -- send us the Alabama file and we load it, geocode it, and set up your turf.
Once you have the file, Motion51 takes it from there.
Getting the file is the errand. The campaign is what happens next: loading tens of thousands of addresses, putting them on a map, cutting them into walkable turf, and tracking every door. That's what Motion51 does.
Send us the file the state gives you and we load it in, geocode the addresses, and set up your district so volunteers can start knocking. The app works offline for the stretches where cell coverage drops, and every door is logged with a timestamp.
