Where to request it

NO county elections agency exists. Middlesex County government was abolished by the state legislature on July 11, 1997, and its functions transferred to state agencies. Voter rolls are maintained by 54 individual city and town clerks within the county's geography (including Cambridge, Lowell, Newton, Somerville, Framingham, Waltham, Medford, Malden, Arlington, Lexington, etc.).No central contact. Use Secretary of the Commonwealth's local election office directory: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/voter-resources/find-my-local-election-office.htm . Examples: Cambridge Election Commission, 51 Inman St, Cambridge MA 02139, 617-349-4361; Lowell Election Office, 375 Merrimack St, Lowell MA 01852, 978-674-4100; Newton City Clerk, 1000 Commonwealth Ave, Newton MA 02459, 617-796-1520.

Cost

Voter registration list: typically free or nominal copy fee (Public Records Law allows production-cost-only). Annual street list: $2-$25 per municipality (Hanover $15, Lakeville $10, Avon $16 resident/$20 non-resident -- varies). Cambridge and Boston-adjacent cities tend to provide electronic CSV at no charge.

How to request

File a separate public records request with EACH of the 54 city/town clerks within Middlesex County's geographic boundary. Use M.G.L. c. 66 sec. 10 public records request. Many clerks accept email; some have online portals. Specify whether you want the 'voter registration list' (registered voters only) or the 'annual street list' (all residents age 17+ from the annual town census).

Turnaround

10 business days per municipality under Massachusetts Public Records Law (M.G.L. c. 66 sec. 10), though clerks may request extensions. For 54 municipalities expect 2-8 weeks for full county coverage if submitted in parallel.

Use restrictions

No commercial-use ban applies to a municipal list. M.G.L. c.51 s.55 furnishes the voting list free of charge, on request, to all duly organized political committees and to all political candidates for public office in the district, and for a reasonable fee to any person - it attaches no use restriction and names no permitted purpose. M.G.L. c.51 s.6 furnishes the annual street list free to political committees and candidates and requires registrars to make it available to business organizations and other nonpolitical organizations for a fee, the only condition being that the recipient sign a log kept by the city or town clerk - which forecloses reading Massachusetts as banning commercial acquisition. The restriction usually quoted is c.51 s.47C, and it is an ACCESS restriction on the STATEWIDE central registry (state party committees, statewide candidate committees, state ballot question committees and a few named officials), not a use restriction on the municipal lists these pages are about. Practical limits, not legal ones: you must aggregate 54 separate datasets to get county coverage, and format varies wildly between municipalities (some provide Excel, some PDF, some printed pages at $0.20/page).

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.
