30542: Political messaging must use the Political use case category
Messaging
Phone Numbers
This error applies to both Toll-Free Verification and A2P 10DLC registration.
Political campaigns and 527 tax-exempt political organizations must select the dedicated Political use case category. Generic categories such as Marketing or Customer Care are not allowed for political messaging.
- A registered political PAC submitted under the generic Customer Care use case category.
- A candidate's election committee submitted vote-related message samples but classified the use case as Marketing.
- Change the submission's use case category to Political.
- Ensure the message samples and description align with the Political category and include a valid Campaign Verify Token, then resubmit.
