How an MP campaign is organised.

An MP race is won or lost in the wards. Civicore lists every ward in the constituency, lets coordinators own those wards, and keeps the candidate's public profile tied to the right geography.

Party secretariats can see every constituency MP campaign they sponsor. Campaign managers get tasks, events, and volunteer hours without leaving the constituency scope.

Open any county on Civicore to browse its constituencies, then open the constituency page for the ward list.

Civicore is independent civic-tech. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a substitute for the IEBC, the ORPP, Parliament, County Assemblies, the PPDT, or the Judiciary. Geography on this site is IEBC-aware so campaigns can organise on official units.
