How to get the Wayne County voter file
Request it from the office below, send us the file, and you're ready to cut turf. Running countywide or in just part of Wayne County? This is the office either way.
- Where to request it
- Wayne County Clerk's Office - Elections Division (Clerk Cathy M. Garrett). Note: the City of Detroit Department of Elections administers Detroit elections separately from the county; voter registration for Detroit residents lives in QVF under the Detroit jurisdiction code.Wayne County Clerk Elections Division: (313) 224-5525 | fax (313) 224-6424 | 2 Woodward Ave., Room 502, Detroit, MI 48226. Detroit Department of Elections: (313) 876-0190 | elections@detroitmi.gov | 2978 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit, MI 48202.
- Cost
- $23 via the statewide QVF channel (county-scoped extract is the same form, just check the Wayne County box). County FOIA: actual duplication cost ($0.10/page paper standard) plus labor for non-standard pulls.
- How to request
- For the full voter file, Wayne County directs requesters to the state QVF (FOIA) channel - counties do not independently produce competing extracts. For supplemental records (precinct results, AV ballot statistics, poll-worker rosters, ballot images), file a Michigan FOIA request directly with Wayne County Clerk's FOIA Coordinator OR with the City of Detroit FOIA Coordinator for Detroit-specific records.
- Turnaround
- Same as statewide QVF channel (1-3 weeks). Direct Wayne County FOIA: 5 business days statutory + up to 10 business days extension.
- Use restrictions
- Same as statewide MI FOIA. Wayne County and Detroit cannot waive state MCL 168.509gg redactions.
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.
