Best Answer

Candidates successfully reach people online by using social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, online advertisements and other online means, rather than just television and radio and many others.

As the internet advances and becomes more popular in relation to television, an online presence becomes more important for candidates.

As one specific example: look at the primary debates. People can go online and post questions for the candidates. And during the debates, Twitter activity increases. The internet has enabled the campaigns to become more interactive, rather than conducted in one way.

The internet makes reaching out to people one knows and people one has never met so very easy. This increases the amount of people candidates running for congress can interact with and solicit votes from.

What does it mean when parliamentary elections are free?

When elections are free, that means that there is an actual choice; anyone can run for office and anyone can vote for the candidate whom they actually prefer. Many countries have had fake elections to create an illusion of democracy. In a fake election, some candidates are not allowed to run and may even be arrested if they try to run, or in some cases, only one political party is allowed (communist nations have always used that system - they have elections, but there is only one candidate on the ballot) or people are coerced to vote in the way that the government requires.
