How to get the Utah voter file.

Utah isn't pre-loaded on Motion51, so you request your district's voter file from the state and we load it in. Here's exactly where to get it, what it costs, how long it takes, and the rules — in plain English.

The short version.

The Utah voter registration file is a public record you request from the state elections office. You pay a fee, sign a use affidavit, and get the list of registered voters for your district — names, addresses, and registration details. Then you hand it to Motion51 and we load it, geocode it, and cut your turf.

Utah sells the statewide voter database for a flat $1,050 from the Lieutenant Governor's Elections Division. The file is generated within one business day and delivered by secure download. It's a one-time purchase -- there's no subscription or discounted refresh, so each new copy is another $1,050.

What it costs.

$1,050.00 flat fee per one-time statewide download. Set by UCA 20A-2-104. No subscription, no incremental refresh discount.

Tip — you may only need one county. Utah only sells the file statewide at $1,050 -- there's no cheaper county slice from the state. If you just need your county, ask your county clerk whether they can provide a smaller extract; otherwise filter to your district after you load the statewide file.

How to request it, step by step.

  1. Email elections@utah.gov with your name, organization, contact info, and declared use (political, scholarly, journalistic, or governmental).
  2. Sign the use-restriction affidavit referencing UCA 20A-2-104.
  3. Pay the $1,050 flat fee by check, money order, or card.
  4. The file -- a roughly 150 MB tab-delimited text file -- is generated within one business day and delivered by secure download link.

How long it takes.

One business day after payment clears for the file generation itself. BUT requests received before 2026-05-25 receive the frozen March 8, 2026 snapshot regardless of order date - the file does not refresh until that release date.

Use restrictions — read before you order.

UCA 20A-2-104(4)(f): voter data may not be used for any commercial purpose, may not be sold, and may not be transferred to a third party for any consideration. Approved uses are limited to political, scholarly, journalistic, and governmental purposes. Requester signs a use-restriction affidavit; violation is a class A misdemeanor under UCA 20A-2-104(5). Records of voters with At-Risk status (post-SB 153) are excluded entirely. UCA 20A-2-607 freezes the public file at the 2026-03-08 snapshot until 2026-05-25.

Costs, forms, and rules change between cycles. Always confirm the current details on the official Utah page linked above before you send payment. This page is a plain-language summary, not legal advice.

Utah voter file FAQ.

How much does the Utah voter file cost?

A flat $1,050 for a one-time statewide download (UCA 20A-2-104). There is no subscription or discounted refresh -- each copy is a fresh $1,050.

Can I use it for my campaign?

Yes, political use is permitted. You sign a use-restriction affidavit, and you cannot publish the data online or on social media.

How long does it take?

The file is generated within one business day of payment clearing and delivered by secure download link.

Do I have to load the file into Motion51 myself?

No -- send us the download and we load it, geocode it, and build your turf.

Once you have the file, Motion51 takes it from there.

Getting the file is the errand. The campaign is what happens next: loading tens of thousands of addresses, putting them on a map, cutting them into walkable turf, and tracking every door. That's what Motion51 does.

Send us the file the state gives you and we load it in, geocode the addresses, and set up your district so volunteers can start knocking. The app works offline for the stretches where cell coverage drops, and every door is logged with a timestamp. If you're weighing a race in Utah, our For Candidates page walks through the next steps.
