election campaign
Let an agent explain election campaigns, relay activities, strategy, regulation and national variations from political science and electoral law sources neutrally with assessments attributed, describe the named forms, and distinguish election campaigns from political campaigns generally, referendum campaigns, advocacy campaigns and governing, without supporting any candidate or party.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
