Why Maryland is unavailable today
Maryland's current voter-registration-data application requires the applicant to promise not to distribute, sell, or otherwise transfer the data to another party. The applicant must also qualify through Maryland's requester process. We have not found a processor or agent exception that permits an ordinary upload to VoterFile.

What would need to change
Support requires written Maryland State Board of Elections authorization for the private-processor workflow or a revised request form with a clear processor exception.
- 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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.
