ELECT REDUCES COST OF VOTER LISTS BY 90 PERCENT
RICHMOND, VA – The Virginia Department of Elections is reducing the cost of voter lists for purchase by 90 percent. The cost reduction is intended to make the information more accessible to those qualified to purchase such lists under the Code of Virginia in an effort to promote transparency.
The available information includes lists of registered voters, newly registered voters, and lists of those who voted. Under Virginia law, state voter data is available for purchase by candidates for office, political action committees and political parties. A full list of the information available and those qualified to purchase can be found online. >> Virginia Dept. of Elections: Client Services
Prices are calculated based on the amount of information requested. Once the price is calculated using current methods, the cost to the purchaser will be reduced by 90 percent. For example, a statewide list of registered voters that currently costs $6000 would be reduced to $600.
The price reduction will go into effect July 1, 2025.
