    Are candidates allowed have posters on lamp posts outside polling stations and if there is what happens? Can I ask the Garda on duty to have them removed (not really his job) but who is responsible for getting them down.

    I know of one place that will be a polling station and has a rake of posters outside it.

    Also, are cars plastered with election material allowed park in/outside a polling station on election day?

    Posters all over the lamp-post at my polling station, they wont be taken down, they were not taken down at the last election.

    I'm a few days late, but here's a snap of my polling station on polling day. I heard on the radio that the limit was 50 rather than 100 metres of the station, but I could imagine that's wrong. This poster is easily within either limit. In fairness to the diesel-smuggling murder-apologists there was a small FG poster near the station too.
