Do political leaflets at elections count as junk mail?

as campaigns intensify, many can expect political material through their post box.he throws the leaflets away as soon as he finds them – and they shouldn’t be sent in the first place.“I’m getting sick of them,” he said. “I didn’t ask for them I don’t want them, it’s unsolicited mail which I'm expected to put into my bin.

John explained he currently has a ‘no junk mail’ sign on his door and he confronted his postman when he continued to get leaflets. “If you were to do a survey of the population or a small section and ask how many people want these things, I can guarantee you that you would probably get less than 10% in favour of it,” John said.Former Labour councillor Niamh McGowan noted the post isn’t as bad as before when every person on the register got a leaflet rather than just the overall household.

“One of the questions that's asked is if they are banned, who does that suit – and the answer is people who are already elected,” she said.
