POLITICAL & ELECTION MANAGEMENT
Good campaign plans are written months and even years prior to elections so that the party-building and good governance work required to be elected or to be re-elected are put in place with that clear, strategic goal in mind. The written definition of that goal – and the map of how to get there – is the essence of any campaign plan.
This project will be used by parties big and small, established and new, as they draw a picture of their future electorate and ways to engage them effectively. This also enable more women candidates to effectively run campaigns and get nominated in the face of substantial obstacles. Women’s increased nomination – and election – will be beneficial to their parties and the communities these women will represent.
Different political parties offer different analyses of the problems and solutions facing society. These are the choices put before voters. But if those ideas are not communicated effectively, to the right voters, using appropriate language and through a medium in which they can be heard and acted upon, those parties’ ideas will not be represented in parliament/assembly. A campaign plan is about thinking through the component steps of a campaign to touch voters in such a way that they choose over the other parties and candidates on offer.
The winning election campaign is most often the one that takes the time to target voters, develops a persuasive message and follows through on a reasonable plan to contact those voters directly. This project has been proposed to assist political parties and candidates in taking these steps to become this type of winning campaign. Unfortunately, the actual planning process is much more difficult than simply following one rule. There is much more that goes into the process. This project is designed to take the campaign through a step-by-step process to develop a written campaign plan. These steps include:
- Doing the research necessary to prepare for the campaign.
- Setting a strategic campaign goal of how many votes are needed to win.
- Analyzing and targeting voters.
- Developing a campaign message.
- Developing a voter contact plan.
- Implementing that plan.
