In many jurisdictions (e.g., California), there’s no requirement for a registered voter to have a phone or email account. Political campaigns are allowed to use voter registration records to generate their spam lists, and most of them do.
Years ago I updated my voter record to remove the email address and phone number, and by the next election, my text, voice, and email political spam dropped to near zero.
