How to get your Mississippi voter file
You obtain your own Mississippi voter file directly from the Mississippi Secretary of State (statewide voter file weekly distribution), under your own entitlement. Free through the Secretary of State's Statewide Voter File Weekly Distribution Program. A one-off public-records request instead costs a $100 electronic set-up fee plus $1,000 for the statewide list.
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.
- Sign up for the Secretary of State's Statewide Voter File Weekly Distribution Program with your name and email address; no oath or eligibility gate applies.
- Each week you receive an emailed link to two CSV files: the statewide voter file and the statewide voter-history file, covering active and inactive voters.
- Plan around the Mississippi file layout: it includes full vote history and district assignments, but no date of birth, no age, no phone numbers, and no email addresses.
What the software does with your Mississippi 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 Mississippi'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 Mississippi
- 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi voter file?
No. You obtain your own file directly from the Mississippi Secretary of State (statewide voter file weekly distribution) under your own entitlement. We are the software that processes the file you bring, never a data seller.
How much does the Mississippi voter file cost?
Free through the Secretary of State's Statewide Voter File Weekly Distribution Program. A one-off public-records request instead costs a $100 electronic set-up fee plus $1,000 for the statewide list.
Can I use it for my Mississippi local race?
Mississippi's administrative policy says voter registration data may not be used to mail or deliver solicitations for money, services, or anything of value. Persuasion, GOTV, and canvassing outreach are unaffected; ask counsel before using the state file for fundraising mail. Because the file omits all birth data and phone numbers, 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.
