THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The argument consists of three parts. The aim of the first is to show the increasing role of social media in the electoral communication process on the example of opinion polls and statistical data analysis.

The third focuses on presenting the specifics of personalisation of advertising messages and consist‑ency of activities in the context of election slogans.RESEARCH RESULTS: The article presents the author’s analysis of the online advertising strategy of election committees in the 2023 parliamentary elections. It allowed for the conclusion that committees, aware of the escalating role of the Internet in electoral messages, not only increase financial outlays on this medium, but also adjust the means of persuasion in order to personalise messages.CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS:The generational change of voters has influenced the intensity of online ad‑vertising messages. For the first time, online advertising and the possibility of personalising messages in electoral content were used on such a scale. It is not only the long‑established indirect nature that has become a characteristic feature of advertising messages, but also the participation of communication intermediaries.
