Data Removal for Election Workers, Poll Workers, and Election Officials
Election workers — from county clerks to volunteer poll workers — have faced unprecedented harassment since 2020. Multiple states (Colorado, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, others) have passed laws criminalising election-worker harassment and enabling expedited data broker removal.
Threat model
Politically motivated harassment, conspiracy-driven doxxing, physical intimidation
Why election workers are at elevated risk
Election workers' names appear on voter-roll processing records, certification documents, and post-election news coverage. Conspiracy networks maintain lists of "targets" and weaponise data broker profiles to locate home addresses. The harassment often continues for months after an election cycle.
Priority brokers to remove first
Not every broker is equally dangerous for your situation. Start here, in this order:
- 1.Whitepages — frequent first-hit for hostile searches
- 2.Spokeo — shows family members (often collateral targets)
- 3.TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch — highest-priority fast removal
- 4.BeenVerified — deeper profiles
- 5.Intelius — background-check depth used by persistent harassers
Where your data is leaking from
- Election administration certifications filed with state
- News coverage of election-night vote tabulation
- County/state employee directories
- Voter registration records (in your own name)
- LinkedIn / public profiles confirming election role
The playbook
- 1
Check for state-specific election-worker protection laws. Colorado, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, Michigan, and others have statutes that criminalise election-worker harassment or enable expedited broker removal.
- 2
Coordinate with your county clerk or secretary of state office — many provide direct privacy-support resources for election workers.
- 3
Document every harassing contact with timestamps. This creates the record needed if you need to invoke state harassment-crime statutes.
- 4
The Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) provides election-worker safety resources.
- 5
Re-run data broker cleanup before and after every major election cycle — relisting rates spike during election news cycles.

What laws protect election workers from doxxing?+
Colorado HB 22-1273, Washington SB 5778, Minnesota HF 3, Vermont S.24, and similar laws in other states criminalise harassment or threats against election workers and, in several states, expedite data-broker removal for covered personnel. Check your specific state statute.
Can I use Daniel's Law if I'm an election official?+
Depends on the state. Daniel's Law-equivalents in New Jersey and Maryland cover judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement. Election officials are typically covered by separate statutes. Colorado and Washington have election-worker-specific expedited removal provisions.
What do I do if I am actively being harassed?+
Immediate steps: (1) Document each contact with screenshots and timestamps. (2) Report to the Elections Infrastructure ISAC. (3) Contact local law enforcement — many states now have dedicated election-worker liaison units. (4) Begin broker cleanup urgently. (5) Brief family members on security-awareness basics.
