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.

• Website: Enter the campaign or organization website (e.g., www.candidateforoffice.com).

• Contact Email and Phone: Use the best point of contact for compliance or carrier follow-up.

Tip: The information on this form must match your public campaign filings or FEC registration to avoid delays.
