Electoral campaigns
The campaigns in this section concern internal offices and decisions in Candeia. Financing must be transparent and auditable, institutional structures must remain neutral, and personal data may not be used to turn informational power into an illegitimate political advantage.
Current statusNo Candeia electoral campaign is under way.Proposed constitutional basis
In brief
For those campaigning, financial and advertising transparency is an obligation; for those receiving campaign messages, sensitive data and public services may not be turned into tools of personalised political persuasion.
How the Constitution structures this subject
Source and beneficial owner
Relevant contributions must be traceable; foreign state sources, untraceable anonymous sources and conflicted critical operators may be prohibited.
No sensitive microtargeting
Institutional data on identity, health, taxes, benefits, Justice or Candeia security may not be used in a campaign.
Visible sponsor
Paid political advertising must identify the sponsor, payer and essential targeting criteria in a searchable public library.
Institutional neutrality
Public channels, mandatory notifications, companies and infrastructure may not operate as an electoral machine for those in power.
How it works
Identify the material source, intermediaries and beneficiaries.
Maintain transparency on sponsor, spending, period and aggregated reach.
Detect sensitive profiling, hidden sponsorship or misuse of public data.
Restrictive measures must allow a prompt judicial appeal without censoring lawful political opinion.
Limits and safeguards
- Lawful political opinion may not be censored under the pretext of electoral integrity.
- Automation used for targeting or material variation of a message must be disclosed where relevant and comply with safeguards applicable to automated systems.
- Legitimate institutional communication about public policy does not automatically become partisan propaganda; the problem is predominant use for electoral advantage.
