In general, political advertisement can be done through public or private broadcasters. Also, the media (public or private) must create equal conditions for registered candidates. The private media are not obliged to provide candidates with free coverage. Electoral campaigning is prohibited on state-owned broadcasters.

Every candidate will have equal space to hang election posters and banners. The law prohibits the holding of festivals or gatherings, or the distribution of gifts near ballot stations, as this will be considered an illegal approach to electors. Equality of media coverage is guaranteed for all candidates under the law.

Some civil society organizations, most notably Center for Research, Transparency and Accountability (CRTA), posted voter educational material on billboards and in media platforms focusing primarily on raising awareness of electoral offences and the right to vote in secret"

Candidates and their activists mainly focused on small-scale meetings with voters, the distribution and display of campaign materials and door-to-door canvassing.
Political parties represented in the previous parliament organised a high number of rallies across the country.
All state outlets provided a platform for various political parties in a wide range of newspaper articles, news programmes, debates and talk shows.
Much political discussion took place on internet fora.

"In order to encourage voter registration, ZEC prepared television and radio programmes to educate the people on the need to register themselves as voters. It also published posters and distributed them in various parts of the country. [Radio Zanzibar] and Television Zanzibar have also prepared their own programmes to educate and sesitise the people and to urge them to register as voters. The Zanzibar Legal Service Centre prepared a series of weekly radio programmes with Radio Tanzania Zanzibar and political parties use their mass rallies to urge members to register for the 1995 election."
