Computer Programs to Win Elections

Although I’m sure you could run a winning political campaign without a computer, I wouldn’t want to try it.  When it comes to organizing and tracking  names, addresses, finance reports, contributions and countless other data, computer programs make a political candidate’s job immeasurably easier.

First time political candidates might think that they need to buy specialized political campaign software or programs in order to make the best use of their computer during the election season.  The two computer programs that I’ve used most extensively for political campaigning are Microsoft Word, a word processing program, and Excel, a spreadsheet creator.

The biggest value of a computer in political campaigning is its ability to help you organize, track and plan.  Microsoft Word and Excel aren’t flashy software, but they’re very useful to political campaigns from the lowest to the highest levels
