Federal Communications Commission Comment Opposing Unregulated Political Robocalls to Cell Phones

On October 19, 2026, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) submitted a comment to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opposing a proposal that would allow groups to place political robocalls — including calls using voices created with artificial intelligence (AI) — to voters’ cell phones without the voters’ consent. CLC’s comment describes how bad actors have used robocalls and AI to spread misinformation about candidates and election procedures, which harms voters and confidence in elections. The comment therefore urges the FCC to avoid creating additional opportunities for people to place malicious robocalls, particularly in the immediate weeks preceding the 2026 midterm elections.
