State of Maryland

Application for Voter Registration Data

Qualifications: To apply for a voter registration list, the applicant must be a registered voter in Maryland and must sign a statement,

under penalty of perjury, that the list is not intended to be used for purposes of commercial solicitation or any other purpose not related

to the electoral process. (Election Law Article, §3-506, Annotated Code of Maryland and COMAR 33.03.02.03A and 33.03.02.04) The

applicant’s registration will be verified before processing of the request.

Application Deadline: Before any election, neither the State Administrator nor any election director may respond to an application for a

voter registration list unless the application was filed on or before the registration deadline. Applications received after that date shall

be returned. (COMAR 33.03.02.05B)

Delivery: Requestes will be turned around within 10 working days from the time QA Board of Elections receives the application. Output

may either be picked up from the Election Board office, or mailed to the applicant. Most files are too large to email. To ensure delivery,

provide contact information as indicated on the application.

Cost:

Lists: $100.00 each

Set-Up fee: $5.00

Payment: Either a $25 deposit or payment-in-full must accompany this application. Payment can be in the form of cash, certified check,

personal or campaign check or money order. The applicant also agrees to pay any balance due prior to receipt of the requested output.

Make checks payable to: Queen Anne’s County Commissioners. All returned checks will be assessed a fee of $25.00.

File Format: All files except the Walking List are tab separated text files with no text-delimeter. This format is easily imported into

Microsoft products; however, because statewide files with voter history are generally around 1.5GB and most counties and congressional

districts have more than 67000 voters, some data files may be too large to read in Excel or Access.

Disclaimer: The Maryland State Board of Elections and local boards of elections do not guarantee that the data requested will be

compatible with all software programs. The applicant will utilize his/her own software to import this data to his/her database.

File Details:

Walking List: the walking list is a PDF (uneditable) file generated by precinct and sorted by street address. Under each street address is

listed all the voters who live in that address and their political party. It is designed for walking up and down the streets, with even

addresses in the left column and odd addresses on the right column. It is not available Statewide.

Absentee Applicants List: Text file containing a list of voters with absentee ballot requests for the given election. It includes voter id,

name, date of birth, residential address, mailing address, absentee ballot address, precinct, district information, state and county

registration dates, party, absentee type, absentee request status, and county.

Early Voting List: Text file listing voters who voted at an early voting location for a given election. It includes voter ID, name, date of

birth, early voting location, date of voting, party, residential address (in one column), mailing address (in one column), ballot style,

precinct, and gender.

Registered Voters List: Text file containing a list of registered voters with name, party, birthdate, gender, residential address, mailing

address, status (active or inactive), state and county registration dates, split and precinct, congressional district, legislative district,

councilmanic district, ward, municipal district, commissioner district and county.

Voting History Included in Registered Voter List: Text file identical to the registered voter list EXCEPT: some columns are in a different

order, it does not have a column for county or commissioner district, and there is a column for each election selected. This list is easy to

view when opened in a spreadsheet format, but it gives no information regarding voting method or date. It is not available Statewide.

Voting History as Separate File from Registered Voter List: The Voting History file contains the following columns: Voter Id, Election

Date, Election Description, Election Type, Party. Election Code, Voting Method, Date of Voting, Precinct, Early Voting Location,

Jurisdiction Code, County Name. To match each record in this file to a registered voter, use the Voter ID column in the Registered Voter

List. This file is for statewide voter history requests or technically savvy individuals.
