Voter roll exposure
Voter registration is public to candidates, parties, and certain researchers — and downstream from there it leaks into commercial broker feeds.

State voter registration is technically public in most US states, with varying restrictions. Candidates, political parties, and (in many states) academic researchers can obtain the file. Some states release it to anyone for a fee. Once obtained, the file commonly leaks from one source to another and ends up in commercial broker feeds.
The data that's in the voter file: name, address, date of birth (in some states), party affiliation, voting history. The brokers republish the address and name. Sites like VoterRecords.com publish the lookup directly — search any name and your address comes back.
Why first responders catch this more
Most states allow officers, judges, and certain other public servants to flag their voter registration as confidential. CA, TX, NY, NJ, and others all have versions of this. You have to file the form yourself — the county won't do it for you. Until you file, your address is fair game.
The catch: if you didn't file before the broker scraped your record, the broker still has the data. Filing prevents future disclosure but doesn't reach back.
What we sweep that prevents the chain
We file opt-outs against the major voter-record-republishing brokers — VoterRecords, in particular — and against the broader people-search sites that incorporate voter data into their files. Re-checked every two weeks.
If your state offers a voter-registration confidentiality election and you haven't filed it, do that. We handle the brokers that scraped before you did.
