Overview
- Augsburg’s six-week campaign window opens at midnight under rules that ban posters on trees and cap placement at three meters high.
- Parties have pre-positioned event notices to occupy desirable spots and are expected to swap them for regular campaign posters once the window opens.
- Pforzheim officials removed roughly 20 AfD posters hung before the permitted time, are storing them, and are weighing a possible fine.
- The city of Pforzheim set 6 p.m. Friday as the earliest legal posting time and said the AfD cited a date mix-up in its volunteer-led campaign.
- In Neuburg, the CSU acknowledged leaving event posters up past the authorized removal date after complaints and said they will take them down over the weekend.
