Campaign banner guidelines approved by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in the Philippines can vary by election cycle, so it’s important for candidates and political parties to check with COMELEC for the most up-to-date regulations.
- Size and Dimensions: COMELEC usually specifies the allowed dimensions for campaign banners, including the maximum size. Banners should conform to these size limits.
- Location Restrictions: Banners should be placed only in designated common poster areas or locations approved by COMELEC. Unauthorized placement in public and private properties can result in violations.
- Materials Used: Campaign banners should be made of weather-resistant materials to ensure they withstand outdoor conditions. Fragile or easily torn materials may not be suitable.
- Content: Banners should include the candidate’s name, position sought, and party affiliation (if applicable). The content should be clear and legible. Offensive or inappropriate content is not allowed.
- Dates of Posting: COMELEC typically specifies the dates when campaign materials, including banners, can be displayed. It’s important to adhere to these dates and remove banners promptly after the election.
- Spacing: There may be regulations regarding the spacing between campaign banners, both in terms of horizontal and vertical distance, to avoid clutter and ensure visibility.
- Prohibited Locations: Campaign banners are usually not allowed in certain locations, including government offices, public utility vehicles, and infrastructure like bridges, schools, and hospitals.
- Maintenance: Candidates and their supporters are often responsible for the maintenance of their banners, including cleaning, repairs, and removal after the election.
- Size of Letters and Graphics: Guidelines may specify the minimum size for letters and graphics on campaign banners to ensure readability.
- Identification: The person or entity responsible for the banner (such as the candidate, party, or supporter group) should be identified on the banner.
- Liability for Violations: Candidates and political parties are typically held responsible for violations related to campaign banners, including penalties for non-compliance.
- Budget Considerations: Keep your budget in mind when designing and producing campaign banners. Balancing quality and quantity is essential.
