How to Opt Out of VoterRecords.com

To opt out of VoterRecords.com, search your name, open your listing with View Details, scroll to the bottom and click Record Opt-Out. Enter your name and email, clear the CAPTCHA, submit, then click the verification link emailed to you. Removal takes 24 hours to 3 business days and strips your address, phone and email.

What VoterRecords.com Publishes About You

VoterRecords.com is a free political research aggregator that republishes voter-registration records from 18 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia — Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, and Washington. A search for your name may return:

• Full legal name as recorded on your voter registration
• Home address, current and often previous
• Political party affiliation — Democrat, Republican, Independent, and third parties
• Voting history — the elections you turned out for (not how you voted)
• Date of birth
• Phone number when included in the state file
• Email address when available
• Related records — other registered voters at the same address

Step 1: Find Your Listing on VoterRecords.com

Open voterrecords.com and type your first and last name into the search bar, then click Search. If the results are large, filter by state and city to narrow them. Click View Details next to your name to open your record page — the URL will look like voterrecords.com/voter/[ID]/[Name]. Keep that URL; you will need it if you have to escalate by email later.

Step 2: Open the Record Opt-Out Form

Scroll to the very bottom of your record page. Below the related records and comment section you will see a small link labeled "Record Opt-Out". Click it to load the removal form. The form is free — VoterRecords does not charge for opt-outs, and any site that asks you to pay to remove a voter record is not the real thing.

Step 3: Submit the Removal Request

1. Enter your full name exactly as it appears on the record.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Re-enter your email address to confirm it.
4. Check the "I agree..." consent box.
5. Complete the "I am human" CAPTCHA.
6. Click Submit Opt-Out.

Step 4: Confirm Your Email

Watch your inbox for a message from VoterRecords with a subject line about your opt-out request. Click the confirmation link inside — that is what triggers the actual removal. Check spam and promotional folders if you do not see it within an hour. Some requests are processed without a verification email; if none arrives after 48 hours, submit the form again.

Step 5: Escalate by Email If the Form Fails

If the opt-out form errors out, if you cannot locate your listing in search, or if nothing changes after a week, email privacy@voterrecords.com directly. Send a short, formal request that includes:

• The exact URL of the record you want removed
• Your full name as it appears on the listing
• A line stating you are exercising your deletion and opt-out rights under your state's privacy law (cite CCPA/CPRA if you are a California resident, or GDPR if you are in the EU or UK)
• A reply-to address you actually monitor

Keep the sent message. A dated written request is what you attach if you later file a complaint with your state attorney general.

Step 6: Repeat for Every Duplicate

You may be listed multiple times — a duplicate under a previous address, a listing under a maiden name, or a middle initial variant. VoterRecords treats each listing as a separate record, so submit a new opt-out request for every one.

Step 7: Address Your Voter File at the Source

Because VoterRecords pulls from public state and county voter rolls, the source is where you can achieve the strongest protection:

• Enroll in your state's address confidentiality program (ACP) if you qualify — most states protect domestic violence survivors, stalking victims, sexual assault survivors, and human trafficking victims. Applications route through the state's Secretary of State or Attorney General.
• Use a P.O. Box on your registration where state law allows.
• Ask your county elections office in writing about voter privacy options — the answer varies dramatically by state, and phone reps sometimes miss less-common protections.

States With Strong Voter Privacy Protections

• California: Safe at Home confidentiality program covers voter registration.
• New York: Address suppression for at-risk voters.
• Virginia: Protected voter program run by the Department of Elections.
• Arizona: ACP for eligible applicants.
• Washington, Oregon, and Maryland: All maintain address confidentiality programs available to voters.

This Does Not Affect Your Ability to Vote

Opting out of VoterRecords.com only removes your data from that website. It does not deregister you, does not change your polling place, and does not affect any absentee or mail-ballot arrangements you have set up with your county.

California Residents: Use DROP Too

If you live in California, you have a second lever. The state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP), run by the California Privacy Protection Agency at consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov, lets you submit one verified request that reaches every data broker registered with the state. As of August 1, 2026, registered brokers must check DROP and process deletion requests on a recurring 45-day cycle. It does not replace the VoterRecords form — sites that are not registered brokers are out of scope — but it is free and covers hundreds of companies at once.

Other Sites That Republish Voter Records

VoterRecords.com is one of many sites that turn voter rolls into a search engine. Also check and opt out of:

• Whitepages, BeenVerified, Spokeo, and Intelius — people-search sites that fold voter data into full personal profiles.
• FastPeopleSearch, TruePeopleSearch, PeekYou — reverse-lookup sites that pull from voter files.
• City-Data.com — displays voter and property data by address.
• OpenSecrets.org — publishes political campaign donations.
• StateRecords.org and PublicRecords360 — aggregate multiple public-records feeds.

Why Manual Opt-Outs Are Not Enough

Voter-record sites re-import from state and county databases on rolling schedules — usually every 3 to 6 months. Even a successful opt-out today can reappear before the next election cycle if a state pushes an updated file. That is the treadmill: submit, wait, verify, and then start over.

PrivacyOn continuously monitors 100+ data broker and people-search sites, including the ones that use voter rolls. When your record reappears after a database refresh, PrivacyOn submits a new removal request automatically — you do not have to remember to check back. It also adds 24/7 dark web monitoring for the credentials tied to that address, and family plans cover up to 5 people from $8.33/month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VoterRecords.com legal?

Yes. VoterRecords.com republishes state voter-registration data that is legally classified as a public record in the states it covers. Federal courts have repeatedly upheld the right to publish public government data. Legality is exactly why the opt-out only strips certain contact details — the underlying voter registration itself is public record.

How long does the VoterRecords opt-out take to process?

Most opt-outs complete within 24 hours to 3 business days after you click the email verification link. If a week passes and your contact details still show, resubmit the request and email privacy@voterrecords.com with the exact URL of the listing.

Is there an email address for VoterRecords opt-out requests?

Yes. If the web form does not work or your listing is hard to find, email privacy@voterrecords.com with the record URL, your full name as listed, and a statement that you are exercising your deletion rights under CCPA/CPRA or GDPR if either applies to you. Keep a copy of the message as documentation.

Will my name and party affiliation be removed too?

No. The standard opt-out only removes contact details — house number, phone number, and email address. Your name, general location, party, and voting history usually remain, because they are part of the underlying public voter record. Full removal is generally limited to people with an official public-records exemption granted under state law.

Does opting out affect my voter registration?

Not at all. VoterRecords.com is a third-party site, not a government agency. Removing yourself from their website has no effect on your registration status, your polling place, your ballot, or any absentee or mail-in arrangements.

Will my information come back later?

Very likely, yes. VoterRecords re-imports state voter files periodically — typically every 3 to 6 months — and each refresh can reinstate your record. A service like PrivacyOn monitors continuously and re-submits removals automatically when your data reappears.

Can PrivacyOn remove me from VoterRecords.com automatically?

Yes. PrivacyOn includes VoterRecords.com in the 100+ people-search and data broker sites it monitors and removes you from. It handles the submission, the email verification, and the ongoing re-check when the site refreshes its data — so you do not have to babysit the process.
