A\u00a0political campaign<\/b>\u00a0is an organized effort which seeks to influence the decision making process within a specific group. In\u00a0democracies, political campaigns often refer to\u00a0electoral\u00a0campaigns, by which representatives are chosen or\u00a0referendums\u00a0are decided. In modern politics, the most high-profile political campaigns are focused on\u00a0general elections\u00a0and candidates for\u00a0head of state\u00a0or\u00a0head of government, often a\u00a0president\u00a0or\u00a0prime minister.<\/p>\n

Campaign message:-<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The message of the campaign contains the ideas that the candidate wants to share with the voters. It is to get those who agree with their ideas to support them when running for a political position. The message often consists of several\u00a0talking points\u00a0about policy issues. The points summarize the main ideas of the campaign and are repeated frequently in order to create a lasting impression with the voters. In many elections, the opposition party will try to get the candidate “off message” by bringing up policy or personal questions that are not related to the talking points. Most campaigns prefer to keep the message broad in order to attract the most potential voters. A message that is too narrow can alienate voters or slow the candidate down with explaining details. For example, in the\u00a02008 American presidential election\u00a0John McCain\u00a0originally used a message that focused on his patriotism and political experience: “Country First”; later the message was changed to shift attention to his role as “The Original Maverick” within the political establishment.\u00a0Barack Obama\u00a0ran on a consistent, simple message of “change” throughout his campaign. However, even if the message is crafted carefully, it does not assure the candidate a victory at the polls. For a winning candidate, the message is refined and then becomes his or her in office.<\/p>\n

Organization:-<\/span><\/h1>\n

In a modern political campaign, the campaign organization (or “machine”) will have a coherent structure of personnel in the same manner as any business of similar size.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Campaign manager:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Successful campaigns usually require a campaign manager to coordinate the campaign’s operations. Apart from a candidate, they are often a campaign’s most visible leader. Modern campaign managers may be concerned with executing strategy rather than setting it – particularly if the senior strategists are typically outside\u00a0political consultants\u00a0such as primarily pollsters and media consultants.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Political consultants:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Political consultants advise campaigns on virtually all of their activities, from research to field strategy. Consultants conduct candidate research, voter research, and\u00a0opposition research\u00a0for their clients.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>Activists:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Activists are the “foot soldiers” loyal to the cause, the true believers who will carry the run by volunteer\u00a0activists. Such volunteers and interns may take part in activities such as\u00a0canvassing\u00a0door-to-door and making phone calls on behalf of the campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Campaign communication:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Election campaign communication refers to\u00a0party-controlled communication, e.g.\u00a0campaign advertising, and\u00a0party-uncontrolled communication, e.g. media coverage of elections.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Campaign advertising:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Campaign advertising is the use of paid media (newspapers, radio, television, etc.) to influence the decisions made for and by groups. These ads are designed by\u00a0political consultants\u00a0and the\u00a0campaign’s staff.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Media management:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The public media may run the story that someone is trying to get elected or to do something about certain aspects regarding their specific country.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Modern technology and the internet:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The internet is now a core element of modern political campaigns. Communication technologies such as e-mail, web sites, and\u00a0podcasts\u00a0for various forms of activism to enable faster communications by citizen movements and deliver a message to a large audience. These\u00a0Internet\u00a0technologies are used for cause-related fundraising, lobbying, volunteering, community building, and organizing. Individual political candidates are also using the internet to promote their election campaign. In a study of Norwegian election campaigns, politicians reported they used social media for marketing and for dialogue with voters. Facebook was the primary platform for marketing and Twitter was used for more continuous dialogue.<\/p>\n

A husting, or the hustings, was originally a physical platform from which representatives presented their views or cast votes before a parliamentary or other election body.
