How to get the Burleigh 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 Burleigh County? This is the office either way.
- Where to request it
- Burleigh County Auditor / Treasurer — Elections Office(701) 222-6718 / (701) 222-6694 | fax (701) 222-7528 | [email protected] | Burleigh County Auditor, 221 N 5th St, PO Box 5518, Bismarck, ND 58506 | County Auditor: Mark Splonskowski | Elections Coordinator: Tom Larson (701) 222-6697
- Cost
- Actual cost under § 44-04-18(2) and § 16.1-02-15. Typically nominal — often quoted at $0-$100 for a countywide digital pull. No published flat-rate schedule.
- How to request
- Written or email request to [email protected] or the Elections Coordinator citing N.D.C.C. § 16.1-02-15 and the election purpose. County pulls the CVF extract scoped to Burleigh (~70K+ records). Burleigh is also the home county of the Secretary of State's office, so for fully-statewide pulls the SoS direct route is sometimes faster than the county route — but for Burleigh-only the county auditor is the natural channel.
- Turnaround
- 5-10 business days typical; Burleigh's Elections Coordinator is responsive by phone and email.
- Use restrictions
- Same as statewide: § 16.1-02-15 election-only restriction.
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.
