City of Salisbury reminds residents of political sign placement

SALISBURY, Md. – The City of Salisbury is reminding residents about rules for the placement of political signs.

These political signs include signs “designated to influence the action of the voters either for the passage or defeat of a measure appearing on the ballot at any national, state, or local election, or which is designed to influence the voters either for the election or defeat of a candidate for nomination or election to any public office at any national, state, or local election.”

Director of Housing and Community Development Muir Boda released the following statement:

. “We are approaching this in a manner that will be consistent and fair, so if you receive communication about a sign that we request to be removed or moved into compliance, we ask that you and your campaign team react to the requests within 24 to 48 hours. If we notice that the sign has not been abated, HCDD will either abate (place the sign in compliance) or we will remove the sign and notify the campaign that signs may be picked up during HCDD office hours Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 207 W. Main St., Suite 102.”
