Election/Campaign Signs Placement Guidance

To ensure the public's safety while allowing candidates to communicate directly with residents, the following rules must be observed when placing campaign or other politically related signs. According to Section 57-25-10 of the South Carolina Code of Laws and Section 16-5-114 of the Town's Municipal Code, political signs:

• Must not be placed on any public property. This includes all parks and beach park facilities.
• May be placed on private property (residential or commercial) with the property owner's consent.
• Must not be placed within any public road rights-of-way; this typically extends from the pavement up to areas just beyond any stormwater ditches or multiuse pathways that run along most roads.
• Should not be installed in any way that might obstruct or impair a driver's view or create a safety hazard.

After the election, all campaign signs are requested to be promptly removed.
