List enhancement enabled organizations to target registration, so that autoworkers visited autoworkers, nurses visited nurses, etc. The result: in the 1999 municipal election, union voter turnout increased 20%, and progressive forces secured a stunning upset.
The list enhancement process creates an enhanced list of environmental organizations in your state, which is held by a third party (usually the vendor that does the matching) for research purposes only and may not be used without written permission from participants.

Their sense that not only technical terms but also names of environmental personalities, organizations, and laws should be included is a good one.
