Federal Political Text Messaging Rules

Federal review starts with how messages are generated and sent, what numbers they reach, and the purpose and context of the communication. A non-federal campaign can still be subject to federal communications law.

Federal rules and the actual send method

The FCC's rules and orders should be read for the current factual situation. Keep the legal classification separate from the application's marketing terminology.

Putting the guide into practice

Document the sending system, audience evidence, revocation handling, and any counsel-approved interpretation. Preserve the dated rule and advice used for the launch decision.

Limits and review decisions

Do not equate campaign registration with permission to contact any number. A provider approval and a legal review answer different questions.
