5. Voter Participation Center

Hello. We're the Voter Participation Center. We saw your post and wanted to clear a few things up.

We'd like to start out by apologizing to you for any confusion you may have experienced, since you apparently received our mailing in error.

Because none of the states have a public list of unregistered, voting-eligible adults, we create our lists from commercially available data and then cross-check those lists against the state's list of registered voters. It isn't a perfect process, but we go to every effort to make sure that we're only mailing voter registration forms to voting-eligible, unregistered adults.

The envelopes included with the voter registration forms we mail out are addressed directly to state election officials so that when a registrant puts their voter registration form in the mail, they can rest assured that it's going directly to their state government rather than through any intermediary.

You can read more about our mailing efforts, and learn how to remove yourself from our mailing list, on our website:

Please contact us using the contact form on our website if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you,

The Voter Participation Center
