Campaign Heats Up - Posters Being Hung Up - Koblenz fills with election posters ahead of Rhineland-Palatinate's March 22 vote
Campaign posters have begun appearing across Koblenz as Rhineland-Palatinate prepares for its state election. The vote, scheduled for March 22, 2023, marks the final stretch of political activity in the region. Political parties are now rolling out street advertising ahead of polling day. German law permits these posters during the last phase of election campaigns, as long as they do not block traffic signs or impair road visibility.
The rules also require all campaign materials to be taken down immediately after the vote. Authorities justify political ads on public streets by citing the right to free expression and the role of parties in shaping public opinion. Koblenz residents can expect more posters in the coming days as parties push their final messages before the election.
The election will take place on March 22, with all posters removed shortly after. Campaigns must ensure their materials comply with visibility and safety regulations. The outcome will determine the state’s political direction for the next term.
