Do Your Duty and Vote poster (Thai poster distributed in Bangkok)
A yellow and black Thai poster. A hand drops a ballot into a padlocked ballot box set inside an outline map of Thailand. The heading says to do your duty, the labels say to cast your vote and mark the ballot box, and the foot says you are responsible for your freedom. The tell is glittering-generalities: duty and freedom are invoked as virtue words attached to voting.
