Electioneering
If your political party is participating in the municipal elections, we would like to help you increase your visibility. After all, as a party you obviously want to be visible in as many places as possible in Opsterland, and you can.
Election signs in each village
An election sign will be placed in each village. On it you can put a poster and/or pamphlet of your party. Please note that space is limited. All parties should be given a reasonable opportunity to post on the board, without having to paste their posters over those of other parties. This means that extremely large posters are not desirable.
We assume that you place your poster and/or pamphlet neatly on the sign itself and not outside of it. That way, voters can better read why they should make your party's circle red.

Trampling
Our residents live in Opsterland for a reason. They live here in one of the many authentic villages. We want to keep that appearance during the election period. This does not include filling trees and municipal property such as lampposts and electricity boxes with posters. In order to continue to enjoy our beautiful outdoor space, you, as a political party, obviously do not want to be fined and listed as an illegal sticker.
Public outdoor space
Opsterlanders are proud of the green and diverse municipality in which they live and recreate. In the outlying area, motorists, cyclists, trucks, tractors and so on travel 24/7 on Opsterland's many B-roads. We want to keep these roads safe even during the election period. We therefore urge you, as a resident in the outlying area, that if you put up election signs on your own property, you take into account the traffic safety around your own property, and do not place the billboards near obscure intersections or curves.
Election advertising on objects not owned by the municipality
If you want to place election advertising on your own plot, you are allowed to do so. However, the election advertising may only total 0.8m2. That is approximately 40 x 20 cm. A total of only three posters/advertisements are allowed. This way we try not to pollute the external appearance of the municipality too much.
