Political lists are lists made by political party officials that include the names of people who support and volunteer for their party. They are used to keep track of party members so that the party can contact them about upcoming events or other information. For example, the list might tell the party which people have volunteered to help during an election, or how many people like a certain political issue the party is promoting. Basically, political lists help the party stay organized and in contact with the people who are interested in their cause.
