How to get your Missouri voter file
Missouri isn't pre-loaded, so you provide the voter file and we load it into Motion51 for you. Here's the official source — request it from the state, send us the file, and you're ready to cut turf.
- Where to request it
- Missouri Secretary of State — Elections Division(573) 751-2301 (Elections Division main) | (573) 751-4936 (SoS main) | [email protected] | James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center, 600 W. Main St., Jefferson City, MO 65101 | Mailing: P.O. Box 1767, Jefferson City, MO 65102
- Cost
- Approximately $35 for the statewide voter file including vote history (widely reported figure; SoS sets the fee under RSMo 115.157 referencing Chapter 610 actual-cost limits). Fees collected are deposited into the SoS technology trust fund per RSMo 115.157. Confirm current rate at time of order.
- How to request
- Written request to the SoS Elections Division (mail, in-person, or email). State the requester name/organization, scope (statewide or by jurisdiction/district), delivery format (CD-ROM, flash drive, or electronic), and sign an attestation that the data will not be used for commercial purposes (RSMo 115.157.5). The SoS aggregates nightly/periodic feeds from all 116 local election authorities into the Missouri Centralized Voter Registration (MCVR) database.
- Turnaround
- Typically 1-3 weeks from request + payment. State extract reflects participation reported by local authorities, which can lag up to 90 days for the most recent election.
Costs and rules change — confirm the current details on the official page before you order. Each state also has use restrictions on voter data — check the official agency link above for the specifics. Once you have the file, we handle loading it, cutting turf, and getting your volunteers knocking.
