Built for the rules of politics
Compliance is a feature, not a footnote.
Political tech that ignores TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and state disclaimer laws is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Petition HQ ships the guardrails on by default — so your team can move fast without making the wrong kind of headlines.
TCPA-ready SMS
Express written consent capture, automatic STOP/HELP handling, and configurable quiet hours per timezone.
CAN-SPAM emails
One-click unsubscribe in every send, physical-address footer, and suppression lists honored across campaigns.
Paid-for-by disclaimers
Add your committee disclaimer once — we render it on the public site, emails, SMS, and printed sheets.
Row-level security
Tenant data is isolated at the database layer. Organizers on Campaign A can never see Campaign B's supporters.
Petition HQ provides software tools that help campaigns meet common federal and state requirements. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice. Your committee remains responsible for FEC, state, and local filings.
FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
Is Petition HQ legal to use for political campaigns?+
Yes. Petition HQ is software — you and your committee remain the responsible party for FEC, state, and local filings. We give you the tools to comply (consent capture, disclaimers, exportable records), but Petition HQ itself is not a registered political committee or a law firm. Talk to your campaign counsel about jurisdiction-specific rules.
Do I need any certification to run a campaign site?+
There's no single certification for campaign platforms. The rules that matter are TCPA (SMS consent), CAN-SPAM (email), state-level disclaimer laws, and — if you take donations — FEC or state campaign-finance reporting. Petition HQ is built to satisfy the technical requirements out of the box.
Who owns the data?+
You do. Your supporter list, signatures, and donations are yours. Export to CSV any time, and delete your campaign with one click.
What does it cost to send SMS and email?+
Your plan includes a monthly allotment of both. SMS overage is billed through your own Twilio account (BYO recommended for large blasts). Email is metered against your plan limit.
Can I bring my own domain?+
Yes, on the Pro plan and above. Point a CNAME and we provision an SSL certificate automatically.
From the field
Hear from organizers who switched to Petition HQ.
"We went from five disconnected tools to one dashboard. My volunteers actually know where to look for shifts now."
"The SMS blast with TCPA quiet hours built in saved us during a time-sensitive ballot push. Sent 12,000 texts in an hour."
"I started a statewide petition on Tuesday and had 4,000 signatures by Friday. The walk-sheets alone are worth the subscription."
Your movement deserves better tools.
