Guidelines for Election Manifestos

An Election Manifesto is a declaration of the ideology, aims, intentions, motives or views, policies, programmes and promises of a political party in elections. Generally, Election Manifestos are published before every election. It is the right of each political party to decide the content of its Election Manifesto. No country in the world, which has a strong system of democratic elections, has provided for supervision or approval by any external agency including electoral authority on the content of the Election Manifesto.
