How to get your Alaska voter file
You obtain your own Alaska voter file directly from the Alaska Division of Elections (statewide voter list), under your own entitlement. Alaska law sets the fee administratively and the Division does not publish a current schedule; historically the electronic statewide list has been nominal. Confirm the current fee and file format with any Division of Elections regional office before ordering.
You stay the requester of record and the owner of the file. VoterFile never buys or resells voter data. You bring your own file, and we are only the software that processes it for your race.
- Send a written or emailed request with prepayment to any Alaska Division of Elections regional office or the director's office; any person may obtain the list under AS 15.07.127.
- Ask for the electronic statewide list, or the house districts you need, and confirm the current fee and delivery format when you order.
- Plan around the Alaska file layout: it includes voter history for turnout work, but confidential fields mean no date of birth, no birth year, and no phone numbers.
What the software does with your Alaska file
Once you upload your file into a workspace isolated to your campaign, it is imported and normalized, de-duplicated, and geocoded to precincts and walkable geography.
Turnout and vote-timing scoring calibrate to Alaska's own election history, not California's, so the propensity numbers reflect how your state actually votes. From there you build targeted walk lists, mail lists, and turf, then export clean CSVs for the tools your campaign already uses.
- Import, normalize, and de-duplicate your uploaded file
- Geocode addresses to precincts and walkable turf
- Turnout and vote-timing scoring calibrated to Alaska
- Surname-and-geography ethnicity estimates for outreach planning
- Walk lists, mail lists, and canvassing packets
- Portable CSV export for field, mail, and voter-file cleanup
Don't want to deal with the paperwork? We can get your Alaska file for you.
Requesting a voter file for the first time trips up a lot of candidates. VoterFile can handle the request end to end: we prepare the paperwork, tell you exactly what to sign, and get the file into your workspace ready to score. You stay the requester of record, because Alaska requires the eligible requester's own name on the request. We just take the busywork off your plate.
Prefer to do it yourself? The steps above are all you need. Either way, join the list and we will walk you through it.
- We prepare the state or county request for your signature
- You sign as the requester of record, as the law requires
- We load and score the file in your private workspace
Built for the races the big vendors skip
The national voter-data vendors are priced and built for statewide and federal campaigns. A first-time candidate for Alaska city council or school board is too small for that model and ends up with a spreadsheet.
VoterFile is the opposite wedge: a flat one-time software fee per race, your own data, and no annual data contract. It is aimed squarely at the local challenger in a low-turnout race.
- Flat one-time per-race software fee, not a yearly data contract
- You bring your own file, so you are never paying for the data itself
- Designed for city council, school board, and special-district races
How onboarding works
First you sign a short services agreement that keeps VoterFile as your data processor, with no sale, no pooling, and deletion on request. Then you obtain your Alaska file using the steps above, upload it, and we import and score it.
Nothing moves until the agreement is signed, and your file lives in a workspace no other customer can reach. When your race is over, or any time you ask, your file and the lists are deleted.

Request access for pricing, onboarding, and eligibility review. You bring your own state's official voter file, and we turn it into scored walk lists, mail lists, and turf for your race.
Questions
Do you sell or provide the Alaska voter file?
No. You obtain your own file directly from the Alaska Division of Elections (statewide voter list) under your own entitlement. We are the software that processes the file you bring, never a data seller.
How much does the Alaska voter file cost?
Alaska law sets the fee administratively and the Division does not publish a current schedule; historically the electronic statewide list has been nominal. Confirm the current fee and file format with any Division of Elections regional office before ordering.
Can I use it for my Alaska local race?
Alaska places no statutory use restriction on the purchased voter list, and there is no oath or application gate. Confidential fields under AS 15.07.195 (date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license number) are excluded before release, and Division practice also withholds phone numbers, so age targeting and phone outreach need customer-supplied data.
What does the software itself cost?
A flat one-time software fee per race, far below the multi-thousand-dollar statewide contracts from the national vendors. You bring your own data, so you are paying for the software and service only.
