We use the quantitative methodology through the investigation technique of the survey that we conducted to the communication agents of the postulants. The results show that the passive use of candidates for overseas deputies in terms of advertising investment refers to the digital environment, the two most used social networks in the campaign were Facebook and YouTube, there were candidates who preferred not to use websites or blogs. The social network best valued by the candidacies was Facebook and the worst valued was LinkedIn.
