We will have to communicate your message to this many homes in order to achieve this
number of votes:
At least half of the houses in the district, however, there are better means to reach them
rather than going in person and applying the technique “house by house”.
Geographic Targeting
Based on past elections, your candidate can expect to do well in these parts of the district (our
base area):
In the more developed areas of the district.
Based in past elections, the opposition can expect to do well in these parts of the district (their
base area:
In the less developed areas of the district (because of the inefficient approach on helping
the others which were left behind in previous mandate).
Based on past elections, the following areas of the district will be the swing areas where you
will have to persuade the balance of the voters you need to win:
Less developed areas, specifically, in areas where new technology and “standard
facilities” are not built yet. (New technology and “standardized facilities” = SMART
parks, bike-sharing infrastructure, lack of FDI, intelligent public transport, good
communication with the public institutions.
Our candidate can be considered to belong to the following demographic groups, which will
be our base of support:
Young adults, adults and a part of the elderly population. Specifically, a small portion
of people between 18-24 years old, a major portion of people between 24-45 years old,
and a small fraction of the ones over 45 years old. As characteristics, those people are
interested in the greater good of the public, they keep up with the events happening
around them and they also are able to think critically and objectively about the
contemporary situations. They are well educated and pragmatic.
These other demographic groups can be expected to support our candidate for the following
reasons:
The reason which might make them to vote otherwise is if our candidate applies the
same tactic as the counter-part and finds something extra to offer, for example, a
programme that would allow the unemployed to find a job or even creating sessions of
training for the ones who seek to learn a new skill and work.
All of these demographic groups make up the following percentage of the population:
75%
If need be, you can also attract votes from the following collateral groups:
No collateral groups.
Our opponents can expect to attract their votes primarily from the following demographic
groups:
Adults and elderly population. Specifically, a considerable amount of the adults between
24-45 years old and a huge number of elderlies (over 45 years old). In such a
demographic group we can indicate a few of their characteristics. Among them, we
would find people who are struggling financially and received no support from the
public institutions, most of them are unemployed and were unlucky enough not to
receive a proper education in their early years. They are voting the counter-part of our
candidate because they receive social financial help.

The Message Box
What We Say About Us What We Say About Them
The following is a one-minute statement that answers the question "why are you running for
this office?"
We are different in many ways, however, we all desire the same aspects in life: peace,
truthfulness and a beautiful place to live in. There is nothing better than to share such
desires among ourselves or together with the people we love. I stand in front of you
because I am seeking such desires too and I want to make them a reality for you. My
wish is that nobody should be left behind so that everybody will be a part of what we
are creating together. Effort makes continuity possible and continuity makes welfare. I
am willing to put all the effort into creating a better place for all of us and to correct the
mistakes that were previously made. I am here, for you.
The following are your specific voter contact goals which, when achieved, will guarantee
