Canvassing for votes

[compo]

When someone enters a competition that relies on gathering votes, what is the term when they contact all their friends and get them to vote for them? I know it is canvassing for votes but I'm sure there is another word for it that I just cannot remember.

Is the answer Simon Cowell?

....or possibly Голосование такелаж

Soliciting, that's the word I was seeking!! Thanks @classic33
I can now explain to someone why she is disqualified from a competition.

A friendly one though.

The correct technical term is 'desperate spamming' or 'pissing off everyone you know'.
