Political Campaign SMS FAQsCommon questions from campaign managers and political consultants
Is political SMS legal and compliant?Yes! Political text messaging is legal under FCC and FEC regulations. We ensure compliance with automatic 'Paid for by' disclaimers, opt-out handling, and consent tracking. Political campaigns have exemptions from TCPA's prior consent requirements for certain messages.
How much does political SMS cost?Messages start at just $0.05 each with volume discounts available. Most campaigns spend $500-$5,000 on SMS depending on district size. Compare this to robocalls ($0.10-0.15/call) or direct mail ($0.50-1.00/piece) - SMS offers the best ROI.
Can I send SMS to voters without their consent?Political campaigns have more flexibility than commercial messages, but best practices still require consent. We recommend collecting opt-ins at events, on your website, and through voter contacts. Our platform tracks all consent for compliance and reporting.
What's the difference between peer-to-peer (P2P) and bulk SMS?Bulk SMS sends the same message to many contacts instantly (great for GOTV, fundraising). P2P involves volunteers sending individual messages from their phones (great for personalized voter conversations). We support both strategies.
How do I get voters' phone numbers?Sources include voter files from your state, campaign event signups, website forms, social media, and canvassing. We can help you import from NGP VAN, PDI, or other voter databases. Always verify consent before messaging.
What if voters reply STOP?We automatically handle opt-outs per TCPA regulations. When someone replies STOP, they're immediately removed from your list and won't receive further messages. You can view opt-out reports for compliance records.
Can I use SMS for fundraising?Absolutely! Text-to-donate is one of the fastest-growing fundraising channels for campaigns. Include one-click donation links in your messages. We integrate with ActBlue, WinRed, and other donation platforms. Remember to include FEC disclaimers.
How fast can I send messages?Bulk campaigns can send thousands of messages per minute. For GOTV on Election Day, you can reach your entire list within minutes. Schedule messages for optimal timing (7am, 12pm, 5pm are popular for GOTV).
