Description
Summary:This paper examines the complex relationship between voter behavior and political marketing electoral campaigns, with a particular focus on the decision-making process during electoral campaigns. The study aims to identify the psychological, social, and communicational factors that influence how individuals respond to political messages and how these responses translate into voting decisions. By employing quantitative research based on a structured questionnaire, data were collected from a diverse sample of voters. The findings show that emotional appeal, candidate image, and media exposure—particularly via social media—play a critical role in shaping voter perceptions and electoral choices. The paper concludes that understanding voter behavior is essential for designing effective political marketing campaigns and enhancing democratic engagement.
