Election Season Chinese

Language Learning Chinese
1

Hi! I’d like to start a topic that helps with learning Chinese terms most useful during campaign season.

Anyone got any ideas?
A few I would like to know at the top of my head would be
Campaign rally
Campaign office
Campaign flyer

@PeggyLee or anyone else, I’d be appreciative if you were able to help out.

How to say “I am not allowed to vote, leave me alone!”?

Campaign is 政治活動. zheng4zhi4 huo2dong4
Politician is 政治人物. zheng4zhi4 ren2wu4
To run for is 競選. jing4xuan3
To elect is 當選 dang1xuan3（dong-suan in Taiwanese).
To seek office is 參政 can1zheng4 (learned that from the 高國輝 bio).

I appreciate this.

Any standard pinyin available would be nice. Especially for us that have a harder time with traditional characters.
