The communication process tries to establish an exchange of information between voters and candidates in order to create a political connection between them.
Communication strategiesused for the campaign are very important because a good or bad management of them could lead them to the success (winning elections) or the failure.
Some strategies may focus on: direct observation, mail and phone survey, personal interview and panel of voters and electors.
And some other consist on approaching to the homes a keep a direct contact with the electors, hear their proposals and the electoral merchandise (pens, lighters, calendars, candy, balloons, t-shirts, etc).
Election campaigns are competitive efforts made by candidates and political parties to obtain support from voters in the period preceding an election.
Candidates resort to a variety of techniques to attract voters, to capture the largest possible number of votes. Among the most common are:
The use of public media, through the electoral strip.
The paid media: newspapers, television, radio, and, increasingly, the Internet through new social networks
Organize rallies, marathons, lectures or any type of event.
Write directly to members of the public.
Browse urban centers, generally small, for a period of time.
Emphasize the negative or weak points of the rival.
Distribution of brochures or other similar means.
Public appearances, in which politicians try to be close to the people.

The communication process tries to establish an exchange of information between voters and candidates in order to create a political connection between them. This is fine, but redundant. All communication processes involve the exchange of information. I would use, "The communication process establishes a political connection between the voters and the candidates."
Communication strategies used in campaigns are very important because success or failure is dependent upon their proper management.
The focus for data collection in the strategies is varied: direct observation, mail and phone survey, personal interview, and panel of voters and electors. I'm not familiar with Spanish politics, but I'm not exactly sure what this is.
A rather popular strategy consists of infiltrating voter's homes through creative marketing to keep direct contact with the electors, hear their proposals and distribute electoral merchandise (pens, lighters, calendars, candy, balloons, t-shirts, etc). Try not to start sentences with 'and.'
The use of public media, through the electoral strip. Electoral Strip? Is this a newspaper column?
The advertising media: newspapers, television, radio, and, increasingly, the Internet. through new social networks
Public events: organized rallies, marathons, lectures or other social events.
Writing directly to members of the public or press.
Browse urban centers, generally small, for a period of time. I'm not sure what this means...
Emphasizing the negative or weak points of the rivals.
Distribution of brochures or similar tracts.
Public appearances, in which politicians try to appear "down-to-earth" with the people.
By the way, do you prefer chocolate, flowers, or both?
'Through' implies a medium, while 'throughout' implies a duration.
"Browse urban centers, generally small, for a period of time." => "Attend local rallies to establish an initial grassroots campaign. A "grassroots" campaign involves meeting town representatives and motivating them to do the footwork in their local communities, to establish a political hold in difficult to appeal to regions.
