Nominee – Political WordPress Theme for Candidate/Political Leader Theme Overview
Nominee is a purpose-built campaign site, put together by TrendyTheme, with page types that map onto what a candidate or an organisation actually publishes: a manifesto, a biography, a list of issues, a timeline of results achieved, a video gallery and a volunteer page with its own recruitment form.
Construction is done in WPBakery Page Builder, which is bundled, along with saved templates that drop a finished section or page into place in one click. Seven home page designs, a one-page version and four site layouts come with the download, and an importer sets up the sample content to edit over.
Two plugins do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Charitable runs donations, and The Events Calendar runs meetings and rallies, with countdown, schedule and speaker modules built to match. WooCommerce is supported if you want to sell merchandise beside the campaign, and MailChimp handles list building.

Who Nominee – Political WordPress Theme for Candidate/Political Leader Is Suitable For
Candidates at any level and the organisations around them are the obvious fit: a riding or ward campaign, a party association, an advocacy group with a clear list of demands, or a community organisation that holds regular public meetings and wants them listed properly.
The volunteer, donation and events pages together suit a group that runs on people as much as money, and the manifesto and issue pages give a structured place to set out positions. WPML and right-to-left support make it workable for organisations publishing in French and English, or serving a community that reads another script.
Important Notes About Nominee – Political WordPress Theme for Candidate/Political Leader
The most recent release lists compatibility with WordPress 6.6, so AppiAppi checks it on a staging copy against your current WordPress and PHP before launch and confirms the bundled builder and donation plugin versions are current. Pages built in WPBakery stay tied to it.
Charitable sends automated acknowledgement emails; these are not official tax receipts, which only CRA-registered charities may issue, and a campaign must follow its own jurisdiction’s receipting rules. Contribution limits and eligibility, authorization statements on election advertising including online ads, third-party advertiser registration and supporter-data privacy all apply and differ federally, provincially and municipally. Use countdown timers only for real deadlines. The owner carries responsibility for compliance.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
You buy Nominee on ThemeForest under your own licence, and TrendyTheme publishes the updates. AppiAppi imports the sample content, then rebuilds it around you: biography, manifesto, issue pages, team and volunteer sections, media gallery and news.
We connect donation forms to your own payment processor, load the calendar with real dates, and set up volunteer and contact forms, the newsletter sign-up and any merchandise. Afterwards the site is managed to your subscription plan, covering content updates, tested plugin upgrades, and replies to supporter enquiries. AI-assisted SEO and content support is part of the service.
