For State House or State Senate District Level Voter File Access
Candidates for legislative seats must go through the appropriate caucus director for voter file access approval.

For Congressional or Statewide Voter File Access
Those running for Congress or Statewide must obtain access directly through the State Party. Please contact Adi Ben-Yehoshua at adi@indems.org.
