Permitted campaign use
California rules permit voter registration information for election, scholarly, journalistic, political, governmental, record review, and vendor purposes when the request and use fit the governing statutes and regulations.
Campaign use can include communicating with voters for or against candidates or ballot measures, petition-related communication, election-related surveys, and campaign contribution or service solicitation tied to an election campaign.
