The Election screen shows the list of mayor candidates and their support ratings.

On this screen, you may set the monthly budget for election campaign for a mayor candidate who is a member of your political party.

A higher monthly budget for election campaign will help increase the support rating for the candidate.

(The Election screen can also be accessed directly from the Mayor page of the Cities report.)
