Benalup, Alcalá de los Gazules and Paterna de Rivera

In Benalup-Casas Viejas, posters are enabled on Calle Conciliar, Paseo de la Guardia Civil, Rotonda del Ayuntamiento, and Calle Paternilla, as well as venues such as the Salón de Actos del Centro Cultural Jerome Mintz, the schools Tajo de las Figuras and Padre Muriel, the IES Casas Viejas, and various squares, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Paterna de Rivera offers the facades of the Centro Municipal de Educación de Adultos, posters on lampposts in the urban center, and three locations: Plaza de la Constitución, Plaza de la Libertad, and Plaza Susana Pérez Valverde.

The allocation sets the rules of the game for a two-week campaign and transfers to the parties the obligation to remove all propaganda upon the conclusion of the electoral period, in addition to assuming liability for any damages caused to street furniture. With 603 lampposts available in San Fernando alone, the Zonal Electoral Board resolves the logistics of propaganda within its constituency before the official start of the campaign.
