Campaign for votes (11)
I believe the answer is:
electioneer
'campaign for votes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for electioneer that I've seen before include "Forty five's [CANVASSER]" , "Campaign for votes" , "Try to get people to come to one's party?" , "Campaign for winning poll" , "To campaign to be elected" .)
