How to get a Montana 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 county election administrator. Send your county election administrator a signed voter list request agreeing to noncommercial use. Missoula County takes its form by email, mail or fax. Legislative district lists can also be bought online from the Secretary of State. Use the table below to pick the right list.
3. Get your file. Missoula County emails electronic lists free and asks you to allow two days. Printed lists cost $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 after that. The Secretary of State emails a download link shortly after you pay online by card.
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

• Missoula County's form asks for active, inactive or all voters and lets you narrow by precinct, ward or district. Fill in every section.
• Missoula County does not accept electronic signatures, so print, sign and scan the form.
• The Secretary of State's files come as two spreadsheets, one of voters and one of voting history.
• Some rural addresses show as township, range and section instead of a street. Use the mailing address for those voters.
• Most city, school and special district elections are in the voting history, but school districts that run their own elections may be missing.
