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
