The City of Cape Town reminds all political parties and independent candidates who contested the local government elections to remove election posters and swivel banners by 18 November 2026. 

The City of Cape Town distributed the ‘Rules for posters and swivel banners during voter registration, general election, and by-election processes, 2026’ to all registered political parties a few weeks before the local government elections.

• Political parties and independent candidates who contested the local government elections are reminded that all the posters and swivel banners, as well as the string and plastic fasteners must be removed on or before Wednesday, 18 November 2026.
• Posters and banners that are not removed within this deadline will be removed by the City at the political party’s cost at R123,48 per poster/banner (VAT excluded)
• We also encourage the public to report any contraventions or complaints about party political posters and swivel banners in writing to the Deputy Municipal Electoral Officer at: Catherine.Overmeyer@capetown.gov.za.
