Request it from the office below, send us the file, and you're ready to cut turf. Running countywide or in just part of York County? This is the office either way.
- Where to request it
- NOT a voter-data source - same county-doesn't-run-elections reason. York County Clerk (1 Layman Way, Alfred, ME 04002; (207) 324-1571) does NOT maintain voter rolls. Largest York County municipalities are Sanford, Biddeford, Saco, Kittery, York, Wells, Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunk.Sanford City Clerk (largest York Co. municipality): 919 Main Street, Sanford, ME 04073; (207) 324-9125. Biddeford City Clerk: 205 Main Street, Biddeford, ME 04005; (207) 284-9307. Look up other towns via https://www.maine.gov/sos/elections-voting/find-a-municipal-clerk-or-registrar
- Cost
- Same statutory caps. Per-record electronic / $1 first printed page + $0.25/additional.
- How to request
- Submit CVR Data Request Form to the relevant town/city clerk. For county-wide coverage of York County's 29 municipalities, the practical path is to buy the statewide file and filter - purchasing 29 separate municipal extracts is impractical.
- Turnaround
- 1-3 weeks typical per municipality.
- Use restrictions
- Same §196-A eligibility and use restrictions.
Costs and rules change, so 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.
