Political Signs

The town regulates political signs on town-owned and town-controlled property when it is used as a voting location. Properties not owned or controlled by the town that serve as voting sites might follow different guidelines for political signage and activities. For those regulations, please speak with the property owner or election judge on site.

Regulations include, but are not limited to:

  • Political Signs may be placed any time during the first day of early voting or election day, whichever is applicable. The sign may remain during the entire period of early voting. Should the polling location also be the site of the election day voting, the sign may remain on the site between the dates of early voting and election day voting.
  • Removal of Signs - Signs shall be removed within 24 hours of the closing of the early voting or election day polling location or within ten (10) days from private property.
  • Dimensions - Shall not exceed four feet in height or have a total sign area in excess of six square feet. Political signs shall not utilize any stake that penetrates the ground more than six inches or is greater than one inch in diameter and shall not be illuminated or have any moving elements.
  • Locations - A political sign at a polling place at a town building is allowed in the grass at least eighteen inches (18") from the curb or concrete edge. Signs are prohibited in landscaped areas, which include areas with plants, mulch, rocks, or crushed granite.
