North Carolina Campaign Sign Rules | Durham News

North Carolina’s election season is in full swing, and with campaign signs popping up everywhere, there are strict rules to follow—especially on state roads. Signs must be placed at least a certain distance from pavement, not too tall, and can’t obstruct views. They’re only allowed from Sept 15 to Nov 13 on state highway rights-of-way. On private property? Rules are looser, but check local or HOA guidelines. Inside polling places or within 25–50 feet of entrances? Absolutely no signs—county boards want voting to stay fair and clear. Trespassing on someone else’s sign? That’s a misdemeanor. Your own sign? You can take it down anytime. And after Election Day, all state road signs must be removed within 10 days—or they become abandoned property, which you can remove without penalty (or let the state do it).
