Text Messaging Overview

How SMS/MMS messaging works with PolitiFast.

Last updated 04/12/26

PolitiFast provides 10DLC-compliant text messaging services for political campaigns. This means your messages are sent through registered, verified channels that comply with carrier regulations.

How It Works

  1. Registration — Your campaign is registered with carriers for political messaging
  2. Phone Number — A dedicated phone number is purchased for your campaign
  3. Contacts — Import your voter contact lists
  4. Templates — Create message templates with merge fields
  5. Send — Broadcast messages to your contacts

Compliance

All campaigns must complete 10DLC registration before sending. This includes:

  • Brand verification (your organization's identity)
  • Campaign registration (your messaging use case)
  • Phone number assignment

Registration typically takes 3-7 business days. Your PolitiFast consultant will handle the registration process for you.
