They use it to target you
for canvassing at the next election. They know you're a voter now, and so you're going to be popular come next election.

but
surely they'd be targeting those who have numbers but didn't vote, as they are non-voters and therefore swayable.
stupid innocent me. I'm so disheartened with it all.

non-voters
tend to stay non-voters. Someone who definitely votes, will likely vote again in the future. If you can get said voter to vote for your party, it's a success.

I'm okay with this.
I worried they'd use it for something far more insidious, don't know what, but if all they're going to use it for is to knock on my door and try to sell me idiots then I revel in it.
The last Tory canvasser left in a huff because I managed to pretty much refute or rebuke anything he had to say. I shocked myself more than anything, I've learned a fair amount. I'm actually going to miss sounding like a smartarse.
