Can I use email marketing to fundraise in Arizona? What are the requirements?

Email Marketing for Fundraising in Arizona

Email marketing can be used for fundraising in Arizona, but there are certain requirements that must be followed.

Under federal law, political text messages can be sent without the recipient’s prior consent if the message’s sender does not use autodialing [2]. However, Arizona state law requires that any person or entity that solicits contributions for a political committee or candidate must register with an Arizona filing officer pursuant to § 16-941 [1]([2]:).

Advertising and Disclaimer Requirements

Any advertisement paid for by a congressional office, as well as any printed materials produced by an office, must be frankable in content. Emails sent by a congressional office must likewise comply with the Franking Regulations [4]([5]:).

Funds that comply with the limits, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act do not satisfy the advertising and disclaimer requirements [5].

Conclusion

To use email marketing for fundraising in Arizona, you must register with an Arizona filing officer and comply with the Franking Regulations. Additionally, any advertisements must comply with the advertising and disclaimer requirements set forth by the Federal Election Campaign Act.
