Candidate Software: In Preparation for Your Election Campaign

An election campaign is many tasks squeezed into a short period: the candidacy application, building a team, organising volunteers, reaching voters, following campaigning rules and preparing for election day. These tasks are often spread across different people, lists and messaging groups; information gets lost, and the same job is done twice or not at all.

The candidate software is being prepared so that candidates and party organisations can run their campaign from one place. It is not on sale yet and its scope is still being finalised. That is why this page shares who it is being built for rather than a feature list; we will announce the scope here as it is confirmed.

If you pre-register, we will contact you directly when sales open. If you write your needs in the form, we will take them into account while defining the software's scope.

An election campaign runs within the limits set by election law. The law has clear rules on the campaigning period, rallies, notices and posters, loudspeakers and the use of public resources; we have collected them in Election Campaigning Rules and Election Poster Rules.

Information about voters and volunteers is personal data, and information revealing a person's political opinion is special category personal data with extra protection. The rules for reaching voters by SMS and email are covered in Data Protection in Election Campaigns, and online campaigning in Social Media in Election Campaigns.

If you do not know where to start, the guide How to Run an Election Campaign walks you through the whole process step by step; when building your team, use How to Build a Campaign Team.
