How to get a Missouri voter list for your campaign

Step by step

1. Find your district. Check your qualifying paperwork or your county elections office for the exact district, ward or precinct your race covers.
2. Order the matching list from your local election authority (usually the county clerk). Contact the election authority that runs your elections, usually the county clerk or, in places like Kansas City, a board of election commissioners. Most take a short request form or an email naming your race and district. Use the table below to pick the right list.
3. Get your file. It depends on the election authority. Greene County emails the list once you pay, St. Charles County takes requests by email and sends the file to the address you give, and the Kansas City Election Board sells it on a flash drive.
4. Upload it to CampaignKnock. Every voter goes on a map, grouped by household, so you and your volunteers can knock doors and log each conversation from your phone.

Tips before you order

• Ask for voting history. Missouri election authorities must supply lists of who voted in a specific election, by ward or precinct.
• Name your exact district. Kansas City sorts lists by ward, precinct, council district and legislative district, and Greene County asks you to describe the political subdivision and precincts you need.
• Missouri has no party registration, so do not count on a party column. Voting history in past primaries is your best partisan signal.
• A State House district that crosses county lines means a separate request to each election authority.
• Phone numbers are not included. Collect them at the door and record them in CampaignKnock as you go.
