July 02 - Election Posters Vandalism

Numerous posters of the by-election candidates have been removed from official billboards across Gibraltar. The RGP have confirmed that they have received one report of this offence which is punishable with a £100 fine.

The Parliament website contains a press release on the matter reading: “It is notified for general information that under section 46 of the Parliament Act any person who prior to the declaration of results of the poll wilfully destroys, defaces, tears, adds to, alters, wholly or partly obliterates or otherwise mutilates or renders illegible a bill, placard or poster having reference to an election is guilty of an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of £100.”

As one example, Bryan Zammit’s campaign team was aware of five of their posters having ben removed but they had not reported the matter to the RGP. In the South District (pictured left and below) YGTV found one billboard that had been tampered with.
