That list includes both the organization name and the organization’s postal address (note that we do not provide email contact information or telephone numbers as part of this list.)

Our present terms of use for those Whois services do not specifically mention use related to ARIN election purposes, and as such an it is possible to argue either side of the usage being permissible or impermissible.

I would ask that for the time being, folks consider such emails as one more additional encouragement to vote (if you have not already).   Once this election is complete, we can then enjoy a discussion of whether any changes to our Whois terms of use (or our election processes in general) is warranted in this regard.
