Reach Every Voter.
Before Someone Else Does.
Government agencies and campaigns share the same problem: nobody reads the email. SMS puts your message in hand within minutes, with a 98% open rate and zero app required. When timing is the whole game, text wins.
Why Civic Communication Belongs in Your Pocket.
Voter participation, government service delivery, and emergency response all depend on reaching people fast and reliably. SMS does that at scale, with no friction for the recipient.
Every Phase of a Campaign. One Platform.
From voter registration drives to Election Night coordination, mobile messaging covers the full campaign cycle with the segmentation and speed that politics demands.
GOTV & Voter Reminders
Drive turnout with timed, targeted reminders across early voting and Election Day, segmented by precinct, age, or voting history.
- Early voting open/close reminders by location
- Same-day Election Day nudges with polling place info
- Absentee ballot deadline alerts with tracking links
- Two-way: "Reply YES to confirm you voted"
Volunteer Coordination
One late shift change ripples across your whole field program. SMS handles last-minute coordination without a phone tree.
- Shift confirmations and door-knock assignments
- Real-time location and time changes in the field
- Phone bank schedules and remote volunteer alerts
- Post-shift thank-you messages that build loyalty
Fundraising & FEC Deadlines
Campaign finance deadlines are built for SMS urgency. End-of-quarter, match windows, and surge moments all perform better in text than email.
- FEC deadline countdown messages with donation links
- Match-your-gift challenge windows with live totals
- Mid-campaign surge asks tied to news moments
- Donation confirmations and impact follow-ups
Events & Rally Management
Fill seats, confirm RSVPs, and handle day-of changes before anyone drives to the wrong place.
- Pre-event cadence: 7-day, 1-day, day-of
- Venue changes and parking logistics in real time
- Live gate messaging and overflow routing
- Post-event opt-in capture and follow-up surveys
Voter Registration Drives
Registration deadlines are easy to miss, especially for younger voters who don't track political calendars.
- Registration deadline alerts by state and jurisdiction
- Direct links to online registration portals
- Reminder series for same-day and early deadlines
- ID requirement info segmented by county
Campaign Operations Best Practices
Clean, compliant campaign SMS starts with list hygiene, documented consent, and properly registered numbers.
- Segment by district, precinct, or voter cohort
- TCPA-compliant opt-in collection at events and online
- Suppression list management for all opt-outs
- Approval workflows for multi-stakeholder teams
Political email averages around a 5% open rate per M+R Benchmark data. That means 95 out of every 100 messages you send never get seen. SMS gets that ratio flipped — 98% open rates, most messages read within 3 minutes. When outcomes come down to hundreds of votes, the channel you choose is a strategy decision, not a marketing one.

⚠️ Political SMS Compliance
Political text messaging requires express written consent under TCPA. Large-volume sends require A2P 10DLC registered numbers. 7 Media Group operates on the A2P framework and helps campaigns build legally sound opt-in flows from day one.
Build Your List
Collect opt-ins at events, via web form, or canvassing apps. Integrate with your voter file to segment by district, turnout score, or age bracket.
Schedule Your Sequence
Set up automated sends: registration reminder, early voting open, 3-day-out nudge, and Election Day morning message — all scheduled in advance.
Activate Two-Way Flows
Voters reply YES to confirm or ask for polling location info. Auto-responses handle common questions. Flags surface anything needing a human.
