How to Complete the 10DLC Form
The 10DLC FORM:
The 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) registration form allows your campaign to send text messages legally and reliably through Voter.Vote’s texting system. Completing this form ensures that your texting number is verified with mobile carriers and that your campaign complies with federal and carrier regulations.
Unregistered numbers may experience message blocking, reduced delivery rates, or carrier penalties. Once registered, your campaign gains access to higher throughput and improved deliverability.
