Wardsville clerk to contact election officials after complaints about political signs
Summary
Following numerous complaints about political signs, Clerk Libby Chipman will contact election officials and distribute guidance about village ordinances and permissible sign timing ahead of November.
Trustees discussed an influx of political signage this season during the Aug. 5 meeting. Chairman Bill Gratz described the number of signs as excessive and noted multiple citizens had contacted the village, and counsel David Bandre' said he had also received calls.
Following that discussion, the Board directed Clerk Libby Chipman to reach out to election officials to identify staff involved in the November election and to send letters or emails explaining Village ordinances and the allowable timeframes for political signs. The Board did not adopt new ordinances at the meeting; the step is intended as outreach and education to reduce sign-related complaints.
