The internet offers parties and candidates the possibility to maintain “offices of permanent information”, which provide citizens with the opportunity to access infinite amounts of information in a range of formats. This “timelessness”, provided by new technologies, also influences election campaigns. Two essential elements of the internet are its instantaneity and its interactivity, which significantly affect the time frame established for the realisation of the electoral campaign. It would be interesting to reconsider the concept of soliciting votes, a process which is divided between periods of pre-campaign (or permanent campaign) and campaign. Similarly, the expediency of distinguishing between financing of campaigns and financing of political parties appears questionable.
