I understand that the County Auditor is required by law to furnish copies of the current registration lists of registered voters in their possession to any person, upon

request, PROVIDED, that such lists be used only for political purposes and shall not be used for commercial purposes (RCW 29A.08.720).

I further understand that any violation of RCW 29A.08.720 relating to the use of lists of registered voters is a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the

State penitentiary for a period of not more than five years or a fine of not more than five thousand dollars, or both such fine and imprisonment, in addition to

possible civil penalties.

RCW 29A.08.740

Violations of restricted use of registered voter date – Penalties – Liabilities.

(1) Any person who uses registered voter data furnished under RCW 29A.08.720 for the purpose of mailing or delivering any advertisement or offer for any property,

establishment, organization, product, or service or for the purpose of mailing or delivering any solicitation for money, services, or anything of value is guilty of a class

C felony punishable by imprisonment in a state correctional facility for a period of not more than five years or a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars or both

such fine and imprisonment, and is liable to each person provided such advertisement or solicitation, without the person's consent, for the nuisance value of such

person having to dispose of it, which value is herein established at five dollars for each item mailed or delivered to the person's residence. However, a person who

mails or delivers any advertisement, offer, or solicitation for a political purpose is not liable under this section unless the person is liable under subsection (2) of this

section. For purposes of this subsection, two or more attached papers or sheets or two or more papers that are enclosed in the same envelope or container or are

folded together are one item. Merely having a mailbox or other receptacle for mail on or near the person's residence is not an indication that the person consented

to receive the advertisement or solicitation. A class action may be brought to recover damages under this section, and the court may award a reasonable attorney's

fee to any party recovering damages under this section.

(2) Each person furnished data under RCW 29A.08.720 shall take reasonable precautions designed to assure that the data is not used for the purpose of mailing or

delivering any advertisement or offer for any property, establishment, organization, product, or service or for the purpose of mailing or delivering any solicitation for

money, services, or anything of value. However, the data may be used for any political purpose. Where failure to exercise due care in carrying out this responsibility

results in the data being used for such purposes, then such person is jointly and severally liable for damages under subsection (1) of this section along with any other

person liable under subsection (1) of this section for the misuse of such data.
