Election authority certifies audit, flags new sign-distance rules
Summary
The county election authority said the recent election audit matched certified results and said a new state law changes political-sign distance requirements at polling places; he said he will enforce a 50-foot rule for noncandidate signs.
The county election authority reported that the recent election audit confirmed the certified results and said staff had completed required steps to certify the outcome to the state.
He also summarized a new state law that changes political-sign placement rules: noncandidate political signs must be placed 50 feet from the door at polling locations, while candidate signs may be placed as close as 25 feet. He said he will enforce the new 50-foot restriction for noncandidate signs at polling places and that signs left after 30 days may be removed by county maintenance staff.
Commissioners asked for the statute citation to be circulated; the election authority said he would follow up with the county attorney and provide details.
