How to get a Tennessee voter list for your campaign

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 commission. Fill out your county election commission's order form, sign the state certification that the list is for political purposes only, and turn it in by email, mail or in person, paying before you get the list. Use the table below to pick the right list.
3. Get your file. Depends on the county. Some email a secure download link, others hand you a USB drive or CD at the office, and some will mail it. Paper lists and mailing labels are usually available for an extra charge.
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.

Tips before you order

• Ask for your exact district, not the whole county. Most counties can filter by county commission, school board, city council and state House district for the same price.
• Check how your county takes payment before you go. Shelby County takes cash only, and Hamilton County adds a $2 fee for cards.
• Ask for voting history. It usually costs nothing extra and shows you who actually turns out in local elections.
• A State House district that crosses county lines means a separate order from each county election commission.
• Some counties let you add phone number and date of birth where the voter provided them, so ask what fields your county offers.
