Advertisements prohibited – Because of the state advertisement, there is now a risk of contesting the election

The Apollo 13 call for help “Houston, we have a problem!” has also applied to Carinthia since yesterday. A little more than a month before the election, a circumstance emerged yesterday that could lead to a challenge to the election.

Department 13 is to blame for this, politically situated with SPÖ regional councilor Sara Schaar. A double-page advertisement for the family and youth tickets was published in the digital edition of a daily newspaper in Carinthia. “Country of Carinthia” and said department 13 are clearly visible. You have to know that § 2c of the Carinthian state election regulations clearly regulates: “In the period from the key date of the election (January 2nd, note) to the day of the election, it is up to the organs of the The Carinthian state government prohibits the publication of advertisements and advertisements in print, radio and audiovisual media, as well as in the form of posters.”Clear violationThe double-sided advertisement is a clear violation of this. It was even warned of such mistakes at Arnulfplatz. In a protocol of the state office management of October 5, 2022, available to the “Krone”, about a meeting of high-ranking officials, it says: “In the event of violations (of this advertising ban, note) there can be consequences up to and including a challenge to the state elections. Strict compliance is requested.” Boom! So if a competitor feels disturbed by this advertisement in the election success, he can contest the election – with promising prospects. “Klagenfurt, we have a problem!”
