hole in the taped area and attach the poster with zip ties to fences etc.
3. When taping campaign flyers up, tape all four corners, make it look neat. Any
campaign flyers that are “rolling up” and cannot be read will be removed by the ASB
Director, Administration, and or Chair of the Elections Committee
4. There are other forms of advertising other than posters, use them.
5. Be creative, it shows what kind of officer you will be.

ground, on the steps, on the railings, on the picnic benches, recycling bins, garbage
cans, interior walls along the admin hallway and the locker areas in the administration
building. You cannot use dry erase markers on windows.
