The legislative assembly elections are scheduled to be held on February 2020 in Delhi and a total of 70 members are to be elected. To win the elections the political parties adopt various advertising measures such as social media campaigns, data analysis, advertisements, and rallies, out of home(OOH) advertising and everything under the tree.

Out of home advertising or OOH advertising is a way of visual advertising which is basically everything promotional that you see out of your home, hence the name ‘Out of home’. It includes billboards, signs, advertisements on street furniture and areas like airports and stations.
Lately, OOH has been a major and important tool for the political parties to create an impression on their voters and to reach them in state elections. It has created a huge impact in very little time.
