Make Clare Elections Poster Free

Use central information notice boards instead of putting up election posters along the roadsides, on poles or any available structure.

Why is this important?

Now that the election is over we have time to evaluate how we canvass during elections.
Many posters have been defaced or destroyed by strong winds rendering them only suitable for landfill. Before everyone runs out to get more printed how about we reassess our position?
We could have central display boards in every town and village where all candidates can display one A4 poster. These notice boards could be in libraries, petrol stations, community centres, health centres and other places willing to display all candidates.
We could have a webpage per county with all candidates information and online links.
We have the ability to imagine new ways of doing things that don't have such a negative impact on our environment. Let's do it!
To Clare County Council please pass a motion to ban election posters, dedicate a webpage for candidates, identify noticeboards and collaborate or host participatory workshops to gather ideas with a view to moving away from election posters.
