ELECTIONEERING Meaning and Definition

1. Electioneering refers to the activities undertaken by individuals and groups in order to promote a specific candidate or political party during an election. It is a form of political campaigning that aims to influence voters and persuade them to vote for a particular candidate or party. Electioneering typically involves various strategies and tactics, such as advertising, public speaking, rallies, canvassing, and using social media platforms.

   The primary objective of electioneering is to create public awareness about a candidate's policies, achievements, and campaign promises, with the ultimate goal of swaying voters in their favor. It often includes efforts to discredit opponents, highlight their weaknesses or scandals, and differentiate the candidate from their competitors. Successful electioneering campaigns can generate public support and increase voter turnout, ultimately deciding the outcome of an election.
