PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS--VENEZUELA
DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS IN VENEZUELA, THE PEOPLE
USE PAINT TO SPRAY THE NAMES OF THEIR FAVORITE CANDIDATES ALL OVER
THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. ALMOST EVERY STORE IS COVERED WITH NAMES
AND SYMBOLS OF VARIOUS CANDIDATES. EACH CANDIDATE IS REPRESENTED BY
A SYMBOL SUCH AS AN EAR OR A NOSE, AND EACH CANDIDATE IS REPRESENTED
BY A PARTICULAR COLOR. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH ILLITERACY RATES IN
VENEZUELA.
