HOW TO ORDER LIST

Requests may be placed with the Client Services Representative of the Registration Division.

Placement of orders can be made in person or by telephone by using our toll-free number 800-552-9745 if calling from within Virginia. Those calling from outside of Virginia or within the Richmond area may use 804-864-8901.

Qualification of the requestor to purchase a list will be verified. An invoice is then sent to the potential client detailing what he/she wishes to purchase. Upon receipt of this invoice the client must carefully read the invoice to determine its accuracy. If the invoice does not reflect what was requested, contact the Client Services Representative to ensure that any changes or corrections are made. Once the invoice is signed and returned to our office responsibility for what is ordered lies with the client. Signing the invoice also signifies that the client is a qualified purchaser and will only use the list for the purposes prescribed by law. Again, violation of such law is a punishable offense.

A check from the appropriate account made payable to the State Board of Elections must accompany the signed invoice in order for the request to be processed. Upon receipt of the signed invoice and check the order will be placed. Production is performed at night. Depending upon the time necessary for extraction and printing of the data, the order may be available as soon as the next business day or can take up to 10 business days. At this point the order will be shipped to the client free of charge unless other arrangements are made by the requestor.
