Nor do I. However, I might question some punctuation if the entire sentence were given with ()s.

What are 'poll contestants'?

Does the writer mean 'candidates' in an election?

When I checked this on Google, I got the impression from the distribution of hits that it was an Indian English term.

I've never seen "hoarding" as a countable noun. Is that the error? ( I know that's not line 4.)

hoarding = billboard. Possibly this is BrE-specific. For me it is normal.
