Elections are an important part of democracy. They are, of course, linked with pre-election campaign. In addition to TV debates, billboards, leaflets and face-to-face meetings, social media play an important role as well.

Our project monitors, describes and analyses the communication of candidates on their facebook profiles. Daily, our team of analytics evaluates posts in terms of the content, topic or emotions. We also analyse sources, the number of interactions and deleted comments.

We analyze the development of the campaign globally through the number of interactions, topic, emotivity of posts and the number of comments deleted.
