Posters help get the vote out in Oakville

  • 2011-05-02
Canadian’s will be going to the polls on May 2, 2011. The Oakville candidates for 2011 are Andrew Chlobowski of the Green Party, James Ede of the NDP, Max Khan of the Liberal Party and incumbent Terence Young of the Conservative Party. Poster printing companies in Oakville, ON have been kept busy providing their local candidates with their products.

Posters are expected to be used in the upcoming elections for a variety of reasons, whether it is to promote a particular candidate, encourage a high turnout at the voting booth or to give voters information at the polls. It is hoped that more voters will be encouraged to have their say at this election; for example, the 2006 election saw Oakville with a 35.3% turnout, but it is expected that this will be improved upon this year.

These days, election Posters are used mainly so the voters can learn and remember the candidate’s name, to see what the candidate looks like and to find out what party they represent. The most effective poster is one that has a large picture of the candidate looking friendly and competent, has the candidates name, lets the viewer know what the party the candidate represents and, if possible, features a memorable slogan.

Election Posters are posted in allowable public areas, at the candidates’ headquarters and in the windows of private homes. Posters can also be posted by residents of an apartment building or condominium; the law specifically states that “No landlord or person acting on their behalf may prohibit a tenant from displaying election advertising Posters on the premises.” However, they can restrict the size of the poster.

Poster printing companies in Oakville can provide any type of poster the candidate requires.
