Complete Voter Registration File For All Registered Voters in Somerset County
Dear Somerset County Board of Elections,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Under NJSA 19:13-20(a)(4) and the Voting Precinct Transparency Act (P.L. 2019, c.487), please provide the following records:
I am requesting a complete, current export of the voter registration database for Somerset County in machine-readable format.
Requested Records:
The complete voter registration file/list of all registered voters in Somerset County, regardless of any criteria, status, etc. Include all available fields such as:
- Voter ID (unique identifier)
- Full name (last, first, middle, suffix)
- Complete residential address (street number, street name, apt/unit, city, state, ZIP)
- Mailing address (full address if different from residence)
- Municipality
- Ward
- Voting District/Precinct
- Congressional District
- Legislative District
- Fire District
- Date of birth
- Party affiliation
- Voter status (All types including Active, Active Need ID, Active Federal Only, Pending, Inactive Confirmation, etc.)
- Registration date
- Source of registration (if available)
- If purged, please include rejected reason with appropriate code
- Phone number
- Any election history/voting history linked to each voter ID (dates of elections voted in; election history should include all elections from 2015 to present, including municipal primaries, general elections, and special elections.)
- Any other fields maintained in the voter registration system
Requested Format:
Spreadsheet format (Excel/CSV) organized by municipality, ward, and voting district (ideally format with section headers per voting district, consistent with standard NJ voter file layout). If spreadsheet format is unavailable, any structured machine-readable format is acceptable (including pipe-delimited or fixed-width text). If these options aren't possible, the next best format is fine as well (such as PDFs). Include any file layout specification or data dictionary if maintained separately.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Please contact me should there be any confusion regarding this request.
Yours faithfully,
Steve
