Holyrood & Senedd Engage
Visualisations for candidates and devolved policymakers
Campaign communications need to be clear, direct, and attention-grabbing. Most importantly, they need to be constituency-specific.
Whether you are engaging with candidates for the Scottish Parliament or the Senedd, localised data is the most effective way to create messages that resonate. Polimapper’s Senedd and Holyrood Engage platforms are the only tools designed to help you frame your organisation’s message within the context of the new electoral boundaries.
“Polimapper has been a vital tool in our engagement with policymakers.”
– Nationwide
Purpose-built for Devolved Elections
Polimapper is a proven solution for creating tailored visualisations for political stakeholders in Scotland and Wales:
- Constituency Dashboards: Build dashboards for each new Holyrood or Senedd constituency using your own data or public data.
- New Boundaries: The Polimapper team can overlay your data precisely onto the new electoral boundaries.
- Resonant Messaging: Candidates are significantly more likely to engage when information is framed locally.
Solutions for every sector
Whether you are protecting commercial interests, advocating for a cause, or representing an entire industry, Holyrood and Senedd Engage provides a tailored framework for your election strategy.
- Corporates: Protect your license to operate by demonstrating your local economic footprint—such as jobs created, investment value, and supply chain impact—directly to the candidates who will decide future regulatory frameworks.
- Charities: Turn complex social data into compelling constituency stories that MSPs and MSs can’t ignore, ensuring your beneficiaries’ needs are at the heart of every candidate’s local manifesto.
- Associations: Provide unparalleled value to your members by acting as the definitive voice of your sector, using branded dashboards to show every candidate the scale and importance of your industry within their specific boundary.
Cut through the noise with localised insights
Overtly complicated dashboards miss the mark when speaking to candidates on the campaign trail. Candidates are generalists who need key data points about their prospective constituency, not graph-after-graph of minutiae.
Polimapper’s Engage platform provides exactly what they need: clear, localised insights that demonstrate your organisation’s impact in the areas they hope to represent.
Get to know candidates before the competition
The frantic pace of an election period leaves little time for manual research. To influence the next intake of MSPs and MSs, you need to be out of the starting blocks before the first ballot is cast. Holyrood and Senedd Engage provides the data-rich infrastructure you need to streamline your outreach and secure early commitments.
- Intelligent Stakeholder Database: Skip the manual spreadsheets. Identify exactly who is standing in every constituency and use our insights to focus your resources on the candidates most likely to form the next government.
- Bespoke Candidate Lists: Build targeted outreach lists in seconds. Access verified contact details and party affiliations, allowing for high-volume, high-precision engagement.
- Strategic Early Alliances: Politics is built on relationships. By engaging candidates with localised data during the campaign, you establish your organisation as a trusted resource before they even reach the chamber—giving you a significant head start over lobbyists who wait until after polling day.
Mobilise your supporters
Engage is equally at home as a tool for public-facing advocacy:
- E-action Functionality: Ask your supporters to contact their local candidates directly using pre-set templates.
- Data-Driven Emails: Templates include constituency-specific data fields so supporter emails stand out from generic campaign spam.
- Candidate Pledges: By putting pressure on candidates locally, they are more likely to make pledges that you can hold them to once elected.
