This ensures your export is optimized, clean, and ready to use without any additional setup on your end.

You’ll receive a downloadable file and a receipt for easy campaign finance reporting.

*Important note, you'll have access to the voter group and all the file formats for unlimited downloads after the initial file purchase of the group.

**You are able to download the entire voter file (All Voters) for no fee
