Systems are asked to classify tweets written in Spanish based on the political topic discussed. Five categories are considered:

  1. Political Issues (PI): Tweets related to the most abstract elements of electoral confrontation.
  2. Policy Issues (PoI): Tweets about sectorial policies.
  3. Campaign Issues (CI): Tweets related to the evolution of the campaign.
  4. Personal Issues(PeI): The candidates’ personal lives and pastimes.
  5. Other Issues (O): The tweets that did not fit in any of the previous categories.
