Why Delaware is unavailable today
Delaware's current Form VRFM006, section 9, requires the requester under penalty of perjury not to make the voter information available to the public or third parties. If the campaign requests the file, a separate hosted processor may be treated as the third party; if VoterFile requests it, delivery to the customer may create the same problem in reverse. The form's section 5 organization disclosure creates genuine ambiguity, but 15 Del. C. § 304 and the form do not state a processor exception.
What would need to change
Support requires written Delaware Department of Elections confirmation that a named campaign may use a private, customer-only hosted processor under VRFM006, or a revised form or statute with a clear processor path. Until then, VoterFile will neither acquire nor accept a Delaware voter file.
- Written source-agency authorization or a clear statutory processor path
- A file-handling design that honors the state's recipient limits
- Updated onboarding terms and a verified first-file workflow before launch
What you can do now
Do not upload a Delaware voter file to VoterFile or send one by email. Review the supported-state directory for other campaign work, or contact the issuing office directly if you want to ask whether it will authorize a named private processor.
Need voter-file software in another state?
Compare the 45 currently supported states plus Washington, DC (46 jurisdictions). This state remains unavailable under the present hosted-processor model.
Questions
Can I bring my own Delaware voter file?
Not today. Customer ownership of the file does not override a recipient or access restriction, so VoterFile will not accept the upload without a confirmed processor path.
Can VoterFile obtain the file instead?
No. A separate provider request does not cure the current recipient limits or create a confirmed lawful path to deliver or process the file for the customer.
How will I know if support opens?
This page and the by-state directory will be updated only after the source-agency path, contract terms, file handling, and first-file validation are complete.
