No election season without election posters! Roadside billboards, or their equivalents on billboards, have long been a staple of political campaigns. Individual parties want to draw public attention to their candidates and promote their key messages. But are they still relevant today? Join the discussion!
On the one hand, you can convey political positions concisely and succinctly on a poster and give the party an attractive image. They can be placed or attached anywhere without much effort and their presence can have a positive effect on the turnout at the elections. On the other hand, the abbreviated statements contribute little to a well-founded political discussion. The costs and the limited reach in the age of social media and online platforms have also been criticized. And last but not least: if the posters are smeared, ugly images appear in the true sense of the word.
Do you personally find election posters informative or rather disruptive to the cityscape? Have you ever reconsidered your voting decision because of an election poster? Do you think that they still play a major role today? Which alternatives do you consider more useful for conveying political content? Do you think that election advertisements should be fundamentally reconsidered? We look forward to your contributions!
