For Canadian political candidates, campaigning online isn’t an option anymore. From British Columbia to New Brunswick, voters are going online to research candidates and their positions. If people are interested about your campaign, they’ll be searching for you the web.
Creating a campaign website early gives you the competitive edge. Your organization looks larger, your message is out there for voters and volunteers - and maybe you’ve even started online fundraising.

But you’ll still have the advantage, because you decided to use Online Candidate® - the website system specifically designed for political candidates!
We help all types of state and local candidates running for election or re-election.
