party manifesto

Political pledge document

A party manifesto is a formal document outlining a political party's positions, priorities, and promises, typically issued before an election.

It declares what the party stands for and what it pledges to do if elected: The Labour manifesto committed to raising the minimum wage.

British and Commonwealth usage predominates; Americans more often say platform.
