This chapter discusses the electoral ethnography of a campaign in the state of West Bengal. It presents a thick ethnographic description of the campaigning process and traces the numerous techniques used. The political messages and organisational hierarchies at every level of the state's population help in answering why incumbent governments suffer repeated electoral defeats.

Keywords:   electoral ethnography, ethnographic description, campaigning process, political messages, organisational hierarchies, incumbent governments, electoral defeats
