Election posters: useful or superfluous?
No pre-election period without election posters! Roadside signs or their equivalents on billboards have long been an integral part of political campaigns. The individual parties use them to draw the public's attention to their candidates and highlight their most important messages. But are they still relevant today? Join the discussion!
On the one hand, posters can be used to communicate political positions briefly and succinctly and present the party with an appealing image. They are easy to put up or affix anywhere and their presence can have a positive effect on voter turnout. On the other hand, the abbreviated statements on them contribute little to a well-founded political discussion. The costs and limited reach in times of social media and online platforms can also be criticized.
And last but not least, there are always unsightly images in the truest sense of the word when the posters are graffitied. Just a few days ago, the first posters in Wels were "decorated" with slurs.
Do you personally find election posters informative or rather disturbing in the cityscape? Have you ever reconsidered your voting decision because of an election poster? Do you think they generally still play a major role in today's world? What alternatives do you think might be more useful for conveying political content? In your opinion, should election advertising perhaps be fundamentally rethought? We look forward to your contributions!
