The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has called on advertising companies and candidates who obtained advertising licences for electoral campaigns, to remove election advertising boards within three days of the end of the electoral process, in implementation of the Shura Council election system law.
In a statement, the ministry said that in accordance with Article 28 of the law, the advertisement period for electoral campaigns ends with the end of the electoral process, provided that the removal of billboards begins within three days from the date of the end of the poll and not the end of the licence period for advertisement.
The law states that the candidate must remove advertisements, posters, election flyers and any means of electoral propaganda within three days from the date of the end of the electoral process.
The MME may remove them at the candidate's expense after being warned about it within 24 hours following the warning, and it may also remove any advertisement that violates the terms of the licence at his expense after being warned to correct the violation, within the 24 hours following the warning.
The MME, represented by all the municipalities affiliated to the Municipal Affairs Sector, granted 355 advertisement licences to all candidates in all electoral districts, with a total of 2,169 billboards distributed across the country. (QNA)
