Constituency Rule and What it Means in OCP

In legislative advocacy, constituency means the group of people an elected official represents — usually the residents, voters, or stakeholders in their district, city, or state. 

This is why OCP needs your address for certain campaigns. Doesn't make sense to send a message to a legislator in Ohio, if I live in Florida. 

When you’re advocating for legislation, constituents have special influence because lawmakers are accountable to them for re-election. If you are a constituent (or represent them), your voice generally carries more weight than someone outside that district.

For OneClickPolitics, your constituents are your advocates. Not the promoter itself.

Example:

• If you live in a senator’s state, you are their constituent.

• If you’re advocating for a bill, contacting your own legislator as a constituent is usually more impactful than contacting one from another state.

It’s basically the “you represent me, so listen to me” relationship in politics.

One Click Politics has a Constituency rule that can be turned on or off when creating a campaign in the "campaign Settings"
