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 auditor. Fill out the state Voter Registration File Data Request Form, pick one jurisdiction, sign it by hand, and take or send it to the county auditor for that jurisdiction with a check payable to the SD Secretary of State. Use the table below to pick the right list.
  3. Get your file. An electronic file, emailed or handed to you by the auditor after you pay. Paper lists cost more ($20 to $50 for a county or district, $100 for a legislative district).
  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.
