Step by step

  1. Find your district. Check your qualifying paperwork or your county elections office for the exact district, ward or precinct your race covers.
  2. Order the matching list from your county election office. Send an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request to your county Superintendent of Elections or Commissioner of Registration for an electronic list, or ask the County Clerk's election division for printed lists by election district. Say that the list will not be used for commercial purposes. Use the table below to pick the right list.
  3. Get your file. It depends on the county. Cape May emails lists and labels at no charge, Monmouth has you pick up printed lists and labels at the Superintendent's office in Freehold, and Bergen takes voter list requests through its OPRA process. You pay in full before or when you receive the list.
  4. Upload it to CampaignKnock. Every voter goes on a map, grouped by household, so you and your volunteers can knock doors and log each conversation from your phone.
