Many of our texting campaigns ask people to do something, such as voting in an election or registering to vote. Sometimes we reach people who’ve already done the action we’re texting about.

If They’ve Already Voted

Follow the campaign toolkit for how to respond when someone has already voted. Often there will be an option for “Already Voted.”
