The term "election season" refers to a specific period during which campaigning for elections takes place. This is typically a short time frame, usually several weeks or months before an election, where candidates and political parties actively engage in various activities such as holding rallies, canvassing for votes, debating policy positions, and using other forms of media to reach out to voters. The goal during this period is to persuade the electorate to vote for a particular candidate or party, with the hope of winning the election. Election season is characterized by heightened political activity, as well as increased public interest in politics and government affairs.
