How to get your Wisconsin voter file
You obtain your own Wisconsin voter file directly from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (Badger Voters), or your municipal clerk, under your own entitlement. $25 base plus $5 per 1,000 records, capped at $12,500 for the whole state. A single district from your clerk costs the price of reproduction.
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.
- Order through the Wisconsin Elections Commission's Badger Voters portal, or ask your municipal clerk for your district's registration list.
- Pricing is set by statute, so there are no surprises.
- We can pre-fill the request for you.
What the software does with your Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin'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 Wisconsin
- Surname-and-geography ethnicity estimates for outreach planning
- Walk lists, mail lists, and canvassing packets
- Portable CSV export for field, mail, and phones
Don't want to deal with the paperwork? We can get your Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin requires the candidate'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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.

Questions
Do you sell or provide the Wisconsin voter file?
No. You obtain your own file directly from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (Badger Voters), or your municipal clerk under your own entitlement. We are the software that processes the file you bring, never a data seller.
How much does the Wisconsin voter file cost?
$25 base plus $5 per 1,000 records, capped at $12,500 for the whole state. A single district from your clerk costs the price of reproduction.
Can I use it for my Wisconsin local race?
The Wisconsin Elections Commission states there are no restrictions on use or dissemination of the file, the clearest permission in this set.
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.
