How to get the Kansas voter file.

The short version.

The Kansas 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.

Kansas sells the full statewide voter file for $300 (raised from $200 in early 2026) through the Secretary of State's Elections Division. You can filter down to a single district or party right on the request form, and delivery is usually by email as Excel or CSV. There's no online ordering portal.

Where to request it.

What it costs.

$300 for full statewide voter file (raised from $200 in early 2026). Smaller subsets (single district, single party) priced lower per the CVR fee schedule — confirm current pricing with Kade Urban before mailing payment. $25 returned-check fee. Payment by check to 'Kansas Secretary of State'.

How to request it, step by step.

1. Complete the Voter Registration Data Request form (CVR.pdf) from sos.ks.gov.
2. In Section A, enter your contact info; in the optional Section B, filter by district and/or party -- skip it to receive all registered voters statewide.
3. Sign the K.S.A. 25-2320a affirmation that you won't use the data for commercial purposes.
4. Mail or email the form with check payment. The statewide file is $300; smaller subsets cost less -- confirm the current rate with the Elections Division first.
5. Delivery is typically by email (Excel/CSV) within about 1-3 weeks; a physical CD is also available.

How long it takes.

Typically 1-3 weeks after the SOS receives signed form + payment. Email delivery (Excel/CSV) is faster than CD. Confirm with Kade Urban (kade.urban@ks.gov) before mailing — high-traffic periods (Q3-Q4 of election years) can push turnaround longer.

Use restrictions — read before you order.

K.S.A. 25-2320a prohibits use of voter registration data for commercial purposes — defined as knowingly selling, giving, or receiving the information with intent to use it for any commercial purpose (selling property, goods, services). Violation is a crime, not a civil offense. Political campaign use is explicitly carved out as NOT commercial. Requester must sign the affirmation on the CVR form. Data may not be obtained with intent to make it available to a third party for commercial purposes.

Costs, forms, and rules change between cycles. Always confirm the current details on the official Kansas page linked above before you send payment. This page is a plain-language summary, not legal advice.

Kansas voter file FAQ.

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. If you're weighing a race in Kansas, our For Candidates page walks through the next steps.
