A party stating its policies in its manifesto is what kind of campaign?

Correct answer: A policy-based campaign.

Correct answer: A. A manifesto is a document or public statement in which a party presents its proposed policies, priorities and programmes. When a party asks for support by discussing these plans, the campaign is policy-based. It gives voters material for comparing parties and thinking about possible government action. B is wrong because a fear-based campaign tries to influence people through threats or anxiety rather than explaining policies. C is wrong because offering money or benefits for votes is bribery and is not legitimate policy communication. D is wrong because rigging means manipulating an election, not presenting a manifesto. A manifesto contains proposals, so voters should still consider whether those proposals are practical and credible. Memory cue: manifesto means “what the party plans to do.”
