A political campaign is an organized effort which seeks to influence the decision making process within a specific group.

In democracies, political campaigns often refer to electoral campaigns, by which representatives are chosen or referendums are decided.

In modern politics, the most high-profile political campaigns are focused on general elections and candidates for head of state or head of government, often a president or prime minister.

Politics (from Greek Politiká: Politika, definition "affairs of the cities") is the process of making decisions applying to all members of each group.

More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance — organized control over a human community, particularly a state.

Furthermore, politics is the study or practice of the distribution of power and resources within a given community (this is usually a hierarchically organized population) as well as the interrelationship(s) between communities.

An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office.

Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century.

Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government.

This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations.

A legislature is a deliberative assembly with the authority to make laws for a political entity such as a country or city.

Legislatures form important parts of most governments; in the separation of powers model, they are often contrasted with the executive and judicial branches of government.
