- Where to request it
- Santa Fe County Clerk - Elections & Voting Division[email protected] / 505-986-6280 / Santa Fe County Clerk, 102 Grant Avenue, P.O. Box 1985, Santa Fe, NM 87504
- Cost
- Santa Fe County applies its public-records fee schedule plus the standard NM voter data fees: approximately $15 setup + $3-$4 per 1,000 records (electronic). Voter rolls, voter registration cards, and absentee returns data 'can be supplied for a small fee' per Clerk's office. Santa Fe County (~115,000 registered voters): full county file with history ~$15 + $0.46 = ~$16.
- How to request
- Submit a Public Records / Voter Data Request to the Santa Fe County Clerk's Elections & Voting Division. Email [email protected] with the scope of data needed and indicate willingness to sign the NM Stat. 1-4-5.5 Authorization Form. Pay per the Clerk's public-records fee schedule. File typically delivered electronically (CSV) for the elections-purpose use case.
- Turnaround
- Typically 1-3 weeks; Santa Fe Clerk is generally responsive but smaller staff than Bernalillo. IPRA-component requests have a 3-business-day acknowledgment statutory requirement.
- Use restrictions
- Same NM Stat. 1-4-5.5 affidavit/use restriction - elections or governmental purpose only. Santa Fe Clerk's office also follows the NM Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) for any non-SERVIS public records component of the request. Commercial use prohibited.
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.
