Political campaigns can benefit from modern data management. Every country have their campaign culture, but with some particular differences, everyone have the same needs.
You will need to have an organized force of supporters to control that no fraud is committed during the ballot process. So you need to be prepared for this, the most important day in the campaign.
It does not matter who the people votes, the election is won by who count the votes.
