Abstract
In the article we analyse the election campaign processes for the
European Parliament election in Slovenia in 2004. We emphasise different theoretical explanations of election campaigns, among which
we synthesise three important sets of contents, defined as process-organizational, media and system elements of the campaign. In the article we analyse the existence of all mentioned contents, where we predict that we can talk about some sort of connection between the efficiency of the election campaign or the decision about the selection of the campaign elements and final election effects of final party success at the elections. On the basis of the exposed efficiency indicators and implemeneted analysis in the case of Slovenian election campaign for the European election we can not confirm the connectedness between different campaign acitivities and final election result between the competitive political parties.
