Your Kentucky voter data is included
Kentucky furnishes voter lists to duly qualified candidates, political party committees, and ballot-question committees, and the current SBE-84 permits a documented authorized representative when the required signed campaign-letterhead attestation is attached. $4,000 for the statewide electronic file under the current State Board pricing sheet. Precinct lists are $10 per precinct (subject to the form's minimum and tiering), and labels are $30 per 1,000.
With your written authorization in place, VoterFile files the request as your campaign's representative and loads your race's voters into your private workspace. You receive a written software-and-service quote before purchase, with any official-source acquisition cost disclosed and capped before approval.
Prefer to obtain your own copy instead? That works exactly the same way:
- The qualified customer — a duly qualified candidate, political party committee, or ballot-question committee — completes the current Form SBE-84 under its own statutory category.
- If an authorized representative submits the request, include the current form's signed campaign-letterhead attestation naming that representative. VoterFile does not rely on the discretionary Other requester path.
- Submit SBE-84 by email or mail. Delivery is available as a password-protected electronic file, labels, or paper; allow 7 to 10 business days and pay the approved order before release.

What the software does with your Kentucky file
Once your file is loaded into a workspace isolated to your campaign, it is imported and normalized, de-duplicated, and geocoded to precincts and walkable geography.
Official-file fields and customer-entered campaign activity support filters, walk lists, mail lists, turf, and exports. Where the accepted state and privacy lane enables modeled outputs, turnout and vote-timing models calibrate to Kentucky's own election history rather than California's, and any ethnicity-likelihood output is presented as an estimate rather than an official voter field.
- Import, normalize, and de-duplicate your uploaded file
- Geocode addresses to precincts and walkable turf
- Turnout and vote-timing models only where the Kentucky workspace policy enables them
- Surname-and-geography ethnicity estimates only where the workspace policy enables them
- Walk lists, mail lists, and canvassing packets
- Portable CSV export for field, mail, and voter-file cleanup
Written authorization. The data is part of onboarding.
Official-source forms and requester requirements vary. Kentucky uses a customer-authorized representative path, so your part is the written authorization naming VoterFile your campaign's representative for the voter list, in the form the state requires.
Sign the services agreement and the authorization, and we file the state request — naming your campaign on it — then load your voters as soon as the issuing office delivers the official file. Available refreshes come straight from the Kentucky State Board of Elections under the state's terms.
- Sign the services agreement plus the state's short written authorization
- We file the state request as your designated representative and load your race
- Any official-source cost is disclosed and capped in writing before approval
Built for the races the big vendors skip
The national voter-data vendors are priced and built for statewide and federal campaigns. A first-time candidate for Kentucky city council or school board is too small for that model and ends up with a spreadsheet.
VoterFile scopes the geography first, then provides a written software-and-service quote before purchase. Any official-source acquisition cost is disclosed and capped in that quote, and nothing is ordered until you approve it. It is aimed squarely at the local challenger in a low-turnout race.

- Designed for city council, school board, and special-district races
How onboarding works
First you sign a short services agreement that keeps VoterFile as your data processor, with no sale, no pooling, and deletion on request. Then we file the Kentucky request under your written authorization and organize the approved official file in your workspace — no upload needed.
Nothing moves until the agreement is signed, and your file lives in a workspace no other customer can reach. When your race is over, or any time you ask, your file and the lists are deleted.
Ready to scope your campaign's voter-file workspace?
Request an access and scope review. We confirm the campaign, geography, authorization, official file cost, and import plan, then provide a written software-and-service quote before purchase. Any source cost is disclosed and capped in writing.
Questions
Do you sell or provide the Kentucky voter file?
The data comes included with onboarding. Kentucky permits a customer-authorized representative workflow, so with your short written authorization VoterFile obtains the official file and loads your race's voters for you. We do not sell voter data; your written quote covers the scoped software and service and discloses and caps any official-source acquisition cost before approval.
How much does the Kentucky voter file cost?
$4,000 for the statewide electronic file under the current State Board pricing sheet. Precinct lists are $10 per precinct (subject to the form's minimum and tiering), and labels are $30 per 1,000. VoterFile confirms geography, eligibility, and the official-source cost, then gives you a written software-and-service quote before purchase. Any acquisition cost is disclosed and capped in writing, and nothing is ordered until you approve it.
Can I use it for my Kentucky local race?
Kentucky bars commercial use of the file, but the regulation expressly carves out political use including fundraising; no out-of-country transfer. The file carries year of birth and a five-year vote history, with no phone or email.
What does the software itself cost?
Data-included work is quote-first. We review the campaign, geography, authorization, official file cost, and import scope, then provide a written software-and-service quote before purchase. Any source acquisition cost is disclosed and capped in writing and requires approval before ordering.
