campaign numbers

So the final list of candidates is now ready!.
There are 31,795 candidates for the 3,500 positions of public office which will be elected on Sept 11th - which includes President, Vice-President, MP´s for National congress, District representatives, local representatives (I think this is mayors), and members of the Central American Parliament. 60% of the candidates are between 18 and 30 years old -- I thought that wasn´t all that surprising in a country where the average age is 20, but they have made a big thing of this in the news as there´s been a big campaign for young people (and women) to participate more fully in politics, since the last election - and it seems to have worked.
What´s been more newsworthy is the avalanche of campaign advertising. Virtually everywhere you turn, there´s a candidates face staring back at you. Much of the advertising breaks the electoral rules, but nobody seems to do anything about it. In a street near my house, there´s 15 posters -- for the same candidate!!! -- in the space that it takes me to walk 40 paces (yes I´ve counted!!). The papers have called this 'polution'!! I´m no advertising expert but I doubt that this kind of saturation makes someone more likely to vote for the candidate. There´s still precious little of any real policy or plans.
So what can you tell from someone´s photo??
One of them looks like superman -- but more arrogant.
According to a friend of mine, another just looks like a drug traficker, and of another they say 'it´s his turn' (because he came second in the last general election!)
What any of this means in terms of the actual result, is anyones guess.
