campaign posters

Candidate promotion displays

Campaign posters are printed materials displayed publicly to promote a political candidate or cause during an election.

They typically feature the candidate's name, photograph, slogan, and party affiliation.

The term extends to promotional posters for any organized effort: The walls were covered with campaign posters for the new recycling initiative.

In political contexts, they're a staple of grassroots organizing, appearing on lawns, in windows, and on telephone poles.
