Electorates

There will be 15 electorates. Parties may stand only one candidate in each electorate (duh).

Endorsements

Each party will have one list post to use for endorsements. In this post they will list the candidates they are endorsing. These are more effective earlier in the campaign.

Post Limits

Electorate-only candidates (including independents) have two electorate posts per day
List-only candidates have two list posts per day
Electorate list candidates have three posts per day; one electorate, one list and one that can be either

Two designated people in each party (a leader and deputy leader, two co-leaders, whoever) will have one additional list post each day. This post may be given out to any other member of the party (except for the other designated person, or whoever is using the other post)

Each party will have one additional list post for their manifesto and another for their endorsements.

Manifestos

Every party has to submit a manifesto at some point during the election campaign. These don't have to be very long. If you leave this to the end of the campaign it will be less effective.

Flairing and labelling posts

Each of the four different types of post have their own flair. Electorate posts should be flaired with their respective electorate flair. Regular list post should be flaired "list", while additional posts should be "additional list". Manifestos and endorsements should be flaired with "manifesto" and "endorsement".
Each post should be labelled either at the bottom or in a comment clearly saying which campaign day the post is from (either "Day 1" or "monday" or "22nd April") and which post it is ("first/second list/electorate post", "electorate/either/list post", "additional post given by deputy leader").

Post titles

Give your posts sensible titles that describe the post, or else.
