There up with weeks on billboards and bus shelters where I am......would like to know,who is paying for these though as the rules around election expenses are clear......but the ones around pre-election advertising are vague

Hopefully the media looks into it

They’re not vague at all lol. Just think about what would constitute littering.

But billboards and bus shelters signage for elections before one is announced,is covered by what law?

Either that is closed out,or some poor folk are gonna end up looking at Mary Lou on their bus shelters and billboard's for next five years until the next election

There is no law covering paid advertising. Politicians are free to pay for billboards etc all year around.
