The Primary Election is over and while results are not official until the election canvas is completed Aug. 12, some have won, some have lost, and some will move on to the General Election in November. Buckeye residents growing weary of all the political signs lining the roads are in for some relief.
According to Arizona Revised Statutes, most of these signs must be removed within a specified timeframe after the election, ensuring the streets and public spaces are promptly cleared.
Arizona law stipulates that candidates who do not advance beyond the Primary Election for any reason, win or lose, must take down their campaign signs within 15 days following the primary. That means less roadside clutter after Aug. 15.
Candidates advancing to the General Election may keep their signs up until Nov. 20.
The statute also outlines penalties for noncompliance. Tampering with or failing to remove political signs within the designated period violates the law.
For further details, the full text of the statute is available here.
Candidates and their teams must remove political signs quickly.
