Internet has transformed political campaigning during the last ten years. Political parties use it to attract, engage and motivate voters, while users use it to retrieve information and discuss political issues. Various tools have been used in such a way that nowadays electronic Electioneering (eElectioneering) practices vary significantly from traditional electioneering ones, e.g., by incorporating dynamic features and interactivity. At the same time, considerable research has been carried out, concerning account users' profiles, candidate and parties' profiles, various eElectioneering methods and tools and the recorded or possible effects of their use on the election result. In this paper a literature review is presented. Specifically, the results of the current research are identified, critically evaluated and categorized in order to define research trends and identify research gaps in the rapidly evolving field of eElectioneering.
