Restrictions on the Use of Voter Information
Per confidentiality laws of 1995, voter information is confidential. However, there are specific permissible exceptions to the law. The California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 1, Article 1, §§ 19001-19013 specifies permissible uses for any data obtained from voter registration files. Permissible usage includes direct election campaigning, surveys in conjunction with an election campaign, and distribution of information of a political nature. Data obtained from voter registration or election files may not be sold, leased, loaned, reproduced, or given to another party without receiving written authorization to do so from the Secretary of State or the Registrar of Voters. Prohibited usage includes commercial purposes and solicitations of contributions or services for any purpose other than on behalf of a candidate or political party, or in support of or opposition to a ballot measure.
