Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How did you get my information?

A: Most ORI surveys use public voter registration records in each state to select a random sample of people to survey. Based on contact information people provide when they register to vote, ORI sends invitations to people to participate in surveys. 

​

Q: Are you allowed to text me without my permission?

Under Federal law you are protected from being texted by a fully automated system. ORI texts are not sent using a fully automated system, but rather used a method called peer-to-peer texting that has a live person involved in the process. If you wish to be removed from any further texts this company sends, please reply to the text or email with the word Stop.
