Political SMS and Robo Calls
GOTVText.com provides political SMS and robo calls designed to help campaigns reach voters quickly, share timely election information, support Get Out The Vote efforts, and communicate with supporters at scale.
We work with political candidates, political parties, political action committees (PACs), ballot initiatives, and other eligible political organizations nationwide.
Our services include SMS and MMS text messaging, political robo calls, voice broadcasting, peer-to-peer texting, voter surveys, and IVR polling.
Why Use Political SMS and Robo Calls?
Political SMS and robo calls give campaigns a fast way to communicate when election dates approach, polling information changes, volunteers need instructions, or supporters need voting reminders.
Mobile outreach gives campaigns another way to communicate directly with voters alongside email, direct mail, digital advertising, field operations, and traditional media.
- Fast Communication: Deliver campaign updates, voting reminders, event information, and other timely messages quickly.
- Multiple Message Formats: Use SMS or MMS, depending on the campaign budget and objectives.
- Targeted Outreach: Communicate with defined voter, supporter, volunteer, or donor audiences when appropriate data is available.
- Flexible Campaign Sizes: Support local races as well as larger statewide or regional outreach programs.
Political SMS and MMS Text Messaging
Political SMS messaging allows campaigns to send concise text messages directly to mobile phones.
Campaigns may use SMS for:
- Early voting reminders
- Election Day reminders
- Campaign event announcements
- Volunteer updates
- Polling-location information
- Fundraising messages
- Candidate and campaign updates
MMS messaging adds visual content to the campaign message. Depending on the campaign, an MMS message may include a photograph, graphic, digital flyer, campaign image, or link to online video content.
Political Voice and Robo Calling Services
Political robo calls and voice broadcasting give campaigns another way to communicate a recorded message to large groups of voters.
These services may work well for election reminders, candidate messages, event announcements, campaign updates, and other time-sensitive outreach.
Political calling rules can vary depending on the telephone type, technology used, and intended recipients. Therefore, campaigns should confirm that their calling program meets applicable legal and provider requirements before deployment.
Political Surveys, Polling and IVR
Campaigns can also use automated communications to collect voter feedback.
Interactive Voice Response, commonly called IVR, allows recipients to respond to recorded questions using their telephone keypad.
SMS-based surveys can direct recipients to an online questionnaire or other response mechanism.
These tools can help campaigns gather feedback on issues, candidate awareness, voter preferences, or campaign messaging without relying entirely on live-agent calling.
Peer-to-Peer Political Texting
Peer-to-peer texting provides a more individualized form of campaign communication.
Our P2P option uses operator-assisted sending rather than simply broadcasting one automated message to an entire list at once.
This format can help campaigns conduct more conversational outreach and respond to voters who engage with the message.
P2P texting may be useful for:
- Get Out The Vote reminders
- Volunteer recruitment
- Event invitations
- Voter follow-up
- Campaign updates
- Supporter engagement
No political texting method can guarantee delivery to every phone. Mobile carriers maintain filtering and anti-spam systems, so proper registration, message quality, list practices, sender identification, and opt-out handling all matter.
Political Messaging Compliance and Deliverability
Political SMS and robo calls operate within federal rules, carrier requirements, registration systems, and provider policies.
GOTVText.com works within the technical and registration requirements that apply to the messaging services we provide, including 10DLC campaign registration where applicable.
Campaigns should also pay close attention to consent requirements, sender identification, opt-out instructions, suppression of opted-out recipients, list sourcing, and message content.
Because requirements can vary depending on the communication method and audience, campaigns should review current FCC guidance and consult qualified legal counsel when necessary.
