TCPA, 10DLC, consent, opt-outs, quiet hours, and state texting laws, the compliance rules every political campaign has to follow.
The TCPA governs every political text. Campaigns are exempt from written consent but must still have consent, honor STOP instantly, identify themselves, text in reasonable hours, and keep four years of records. Here's the whole picture.
Federal rules and a growing patchwork of state mini-TCPA laws set the hours you can text voters. Here's how quiet hours work, why recipient local time is what counts, and how to stay compliant across a multi-state list.
10DLC is the carrier registration that decides whether your political texts land or get filtered. Here's what it is, the Political Special Use Case, Campaign Verify, how to register, and what happens if you skip it.
Yes, campaigns need consent to text voters, but not the signed written consent that binds commercial marketers. Here's the consent standard political campaigns actually have to meet, what counts, and what doesn't.
Campaign Verify is the nonpartisan vetting that confirms a political sender is a real committee. For 527s and many campaigns it's effectively required to access the political texting lane. Here's what it is and how to get it.
Every political text program has to process STOP and HELP instantly, automatically, and permanently, across every campaign. Here's how opt-out handling works, the human-worded opt-out most tools miss, and why it's a hard requirement.
The federal TCPA is no longer the whole story. A wave of state mini-TCPA laws now adds consent, quiet-hour, and identification rules that vary by state. Here's what's changing and how campaigns keep up across a multi-state list.
