How SMS traffic reaches WhyIVote and social
WhyIVote is the voter-facing content and engagement platform in the same ecosystem. Campaign participation makes WhyIVote more complete. A stronger WhyIVote audience makes participation more valuable to campaigns.
Platform fee is $0. No additional managed-sending fee for the standard platform service. Carrier, number, registration, compliance charges, and any disclosed AI usage fee may apply.
Every qualified campaign should get a candidate profile
Near-term operating goal: if a campaign uses FreeMessaging, offer the chance to establish or verify a WhyIVote candidate profile.
- Candidate biography
- Office
- District
- Election
- Campaign website
- Major issues
- Candidate-approved information
- Answers to common voter questions
Four ways a text becomes WhyIVote traffic
Do not leave voter attention trapped in a one-off SMS thread. Route people to a page they can return to — then distribute that content on WhyIVote social.
Link the candidate page
Include the WhyIVote candidate URL in outbound SMS so voters can read the bio, office, district, and approved issue answers.
Route questions, not just replies
When a voter asks an issue question, hand off to the WhyIVote Q&A / Ryan conversation instead of leaving the answer trapped in a one-off text thread.
Capture the issue, then publish
Tag issues in the inbox. Recurring questions become WhyIVote explainers and short-form social — not one-time staff replies.
Own the audience
WhyIVote social distributes candidate and issue content. SMS starts the conversation; the site and social keep it.
WhyIVote-owned social
Owned voter distribution
WhyIVote social accounts are a voter distribution network — not corporate marketing. Candidate introductions, issue explainers, Q&A, election deadlines, and short-form content.
Campaign social
Your own channels
Campaigns and consultants still run their own social accounts. That is distinct from the WhyIVote-owned audience.
