Aargau relaxes regulations for party advertising
The regulations governing poster advertising for referendums and elections have been relaxed once again in the canton of Aargau. Political parties may now put up posters as early as twelve weeks—rather than the previous eight weeks—before a referendum or election Sunday.
The regulations for poster advertising during votes and elections have been relaxed again in the canton of Aargau. Parties can now put up posters twelve weeks before a voting and election Sunday instead of the previous eight weeks, and election and voting advertising can be placed up to 100 meters away from the local sign, according to a directive published by the Department of Construction, Transport and the Environment (BVU) on Monday. Previously, posters were only allowed to be displayed in built-up areas.
No permit is required for the installation. Advertising may also be displayed on street lamps along a cantonal road without a permit. However, they may not cover more than 3.5 square meters and must be placed at least three meters from the edge of the road. The advertising spaces measuring around 70 by 90 centimetres must be hung from the streetlights at a height of at least 2.5 meters.
