A series of fake election signage has been popping up on street posts and traffic light poles across Tasmania in the lead-up to the March 23 state election.
One Pulse follower reported spotting several ‘parody signs’ alongside legitimate candidate signage in Kingston over the weekend.
“I think they are pretty hilarious given the upcoming election. Someone had a lot of fun making them,’ he said.
A majority of the signs reference various niche cultures and movie characters, including Darth Vader.
A spokesperson for the Tasmanian Electoral Commission said the homemade signs are not considered “official election material”.
They encouraged anyone who notices damage or graffiti on genuine election signage to notify the candidate involved.
A southern candidate for Clark, who had his signage targeted by vandals armed with a permanent marker in recent days, said his solution was a ‘Yes AFL Team’ sticker.
