- Where to request it
- NOT a voter-data source. Maine counties do NOT administer elections or maintain voter rolls. Cumberland County's largest municipality is Portland - the city clerk is the local point of contact. (Cumberland County Clerk: 142 Federal St, Portland, ME 04101; (207) 871-8380 - handles court/county admin, NOT voter records.)Portland City Clerk (Ashley Rand): 389 Congress Street, Room 203, Portland, ME 04101; Main (207) 874-8610; Elections desk (207) 756-8385; Email cityclerk@portlandmaine.gov.

- Cost
- Same statutory fee structure: per-record electronic, or $1 first page + $0.25/page printed. Municipal clerks may set their own administrative handling charges within statutory caps. A single-town extract is materially cheaper than the statewide file due to lower record count.
- How to request
- Submit the statewide CVR Data Request Form to the city/town clerk, scoped to that municipality. Clerk pulls the municipality's CVR records via the state system. §196-A eligibility certification is still required.
- Turnaround
- Varies by municipality - typically 1-3 weeks. FOAA 5-working-day acknowledgement floor applies.
- Use restrictions
- Same §196-A eligible-requester rules apply to municipal extracts as to statewide. No commercial use; no resale.
Costs and rules change — confirm the current details with the office before you order. Once you have the file, we handle loading it, cutting turf, and getting your volunteers knocking.
