How Does Texting Simplify Ballot Chasing?

Ballot chasing means following every voter who requested or received a mail-in, absentee, or early ballot until that ballot counts. Peer-to-peer (P2P) texting lets your campaign reach each of those voters one to one, track ballot status with voter-file data, and answer the question that stalls a return. Campaigns texting with RumbleUp see 4% to 10%+ higher turnout and a 90-second average response time.

Varying state rules and deadlines confuse voters, and doubts about ballot security leave returned envelopes sitting on kitchen counters. The four steps below come from the RumbleUp one-page ballot chasing playbook: pull accurate ballot data, reassure hesitant voters, deliver the links they need, and send the deadline reminder that gets the ballot back on time.

Send targeted GOTV messages by how each voter plans to vote
Early vote
Beat the early window
Early voting site, hours, and a nudge before the window closes
Absentee and mail-in
Chase the return
Application links, return instructions, and reassurance on ballot security
In person
Own Election Day
Polling place, ID reminders, and a warning about lines and delays
1

Step 1: Start smart with accurate ballot data

Absentee/Early Vote Sync, powered by L2
Data first
  • Tracking early ballot requests and returns by hand is next to impossible for a time-strapped campaign, and that data decides who still needs a text
  • The Absentee/Early Vote Sync tool, powered by L2, identifies, updates, and manages ballot data in a few clicks, so your outreach reaches voters who have not returned a ballot
  • Each sync keeps voter records current, which means you stop paying to text people who already voted
2

Step 2: Reassure voters about absentee and mail-in ballot security

Answer the doubt that stalls a return
Persuasion
  • Many voters question the security of mail-in voting; a text from a named sender answers that doubt directly, in the voter's own message thread
  • Warn voters about potential delays from voting in person and encourage them to request an absentee or mail-in ballot ahead of time
  • Point to the drop box, early voting site, or supervisor of elections office when a voter prefers not to mail the ballot back
3

Step 3: Send essential links and provide submission help

Application links and real-time help
Conversion
  • Text the absentee ballot application link so voters reach the form without hunting for it; campaigns running this play on RumbleUp have seen higher turnout rates among Republican voters
  • Every incorrectly filled ballot is a vote lost, so help voters complete their ballots correctly in real time over text
  • Carrier-approved link shortening keeps every link short, trackable, and off carrier block lists
4

Step 4: Remind voters of key deadlines

Application, return, and voting deadlines
Turnout
  • Timely reminders about ballot application, submission, and voting deadlines, built from voter-file data, stand out in a crowded Election Day inbox and secure essential votes
  • Tap-then-Send Responses let your senders answer voter questions fast with personalized replies
  • Segment reminders by voter path (early, absentee, in person) so each voter gets the one deadline that applies to them
Keep the one-page playbook
The four steps and the three voter paths on one page, ready to forward to your field director or GOTV lead, with no form in the way.

How does peer-to-peer texting fit into my media mix?

Peer‑to‑peer texting gives you fast, targeted reach with two‑way conversations that move votes and dollars, especially for campaigns in expensive media markets. Texting is a value-add for multiple reasons:

  • Provides predictable costs that do not swing with TV CPMs or market saturation
  • Complements mail, phones, email, and digital ads instead of replacing them, acting like the connective tissue that closes loops across channels

Want help mapping texting to your plan? Our strategists will help fit texting into your content calendar across persuasion, fundraising, and turnout to fit your budget and timeline.

How much of my campaign budget should I allocate to texting?

There is no single percentage that fits every race. The right number follows from your target universe, the number of touches you need, and the unit cost of each message. Use this simple planning framework:

Step 1 — Define the program

  • Target universe size
  • Touches per voter (by phase): persuasion, fundraising, early‑vote chase, GOTV
  • Message mix: SMS only vs. strategic MMS moments (e.g., ballot images, event flyers, etc)

Step 2 — Estimate basic unit costs

  • Start by considering SMS segment and MMS costs.
  • Then, as a baseline, aim to fund 3–6 quality text touches to your target universe to maximize the quality of your recipient's experience with your outreach.

Step 3 — Do the math (quick formula)

Budget ≈ Universe × Touches × [ (1 − MMS%) × (Avg SMS segments per message) × (SMS cost per segment) + (MMS%) × (MMS cost per message) ]

  • Many programs assume 2 segments per SMS on average for concise persuasion and GOTV scripts
  • Use MMS for key moments only keep costs in check

What that looks like in common scenarios

Assumptions for illustration: 2 segments per SMS, 20% of messages as MMS, SMS segment $0.03, MMS $0.08.

Program Universe Touches Estimated messaging budget
Local city council / school board 10,000 4 $2,560 for the cycle
State house district 50,000 4 $12,800 for the cycle
Competitive congressional 150,000 6 $57,600 for the cycle

Enhanced Video Texting, optional outsourcing, or optional full‑service management are available for additional fees.

How does texting compare to email and digital for fundraising?

Based on available data, texting tends to produce higher ROI per message than email.

  • In nonprofit benchmarks, organizations raised $76 per 1,000 fundraising emails in 2023, dropping to $58 per 1,000 in 2024. [Source: NonProfit PRO]
  • In the same 2023 cycle, nonprofits raised about $92 per 1,000 texts - higher per message than email - though mobile lists were much smaller. [Source: NonProfit PRO]
  • In 2024, less than a third of nonprofits reported active peer‑to‑peer texting, and mobile‑sourced revenue accounted for ~0.9% of online revenue, underscoring the massive opportunity available by implementing a texting program. [Source: M+R Benchmarks 2025]

Here's what we recommend to apply this to political fundraising:

  • Use texting for urgency: end‑of‑month closes, rapid response, fundraising event reminders, and deadline prompts
  • Keep email for depth and scale: storytelling, multi‑ask ladders, and receipts
  • Coordinate with ads and social to lift conversion rates across channels
Do I need volunteers to send my messages?

No! You can use your team, our team, or a hybrid.

  • Self‑serve: your campaign staff and interns send with our portal's wide array of tools, features, and compliance safeguards. See full list of features here: https://rumbleup.com/features
  • Outsourcing: our trained, U.S. based senders handle day‑to‑day outreach while you retain strategy and approvals
  • Full service: we run creative, segmentation, sending, and reporting while you focus on the rest of your program
What is 10DLC registration, and do I have to do it to send texts with RumbleUp?

10DLC registration is required for all texting in the U.S., and you must do it to deliver texts successfully.

10DLC is the sanctioned channel for messaging. Carriers use The Campaign Registry (TCR) to verify your brand and campaign use case before allowing traffic on U.S. long codes.

U.S. carriers cut off unregistered traffic and may assess higher per‑message fees for non‑compliance, so registration is essential to protect your budget and your delivery rate.

RumbleUp offers zero‑markup 10DLC registration and quick approvals so you can launch fast. Learn more here: https://rumbleup.com/simple-10dlc-registration-texting-compliance

Not sure your website will pass carrier review? Run the free TCR Readiness Check (about two minutes, no account needed).

Do I have to pay extra to access your support or strategy teams?
No. Our award‑winning support and strategist access are included seven‑day‑a‑week support for technical questions and message strategy. We also have white‑glove onboarding and texting campaign registration assistance at no additional charge.
