Campaign Signage Laws and Recommendations
What the law says:
• Hawai'i law prohibits the placement of political signs on any public property, including median strips, sidewalks, fences and rights of way. Officials will issue citations for and/or remove any signs posted on public property.
• There are no laws regulating the size or number of signs placed on private properties, which include businesses and residences. Signs are legal on private property year-round and for any duration of time.
What the Outdoor Circle recommends:
• Each sign displayed should be no larger than 4 feet by 2 feet, and the total area of all signs for each private property should not exceed 16 square feet.
• No campaign signs should be illuminated by any form of artificial lighting.
• No sign should be erected more than 45 days before the day of the election, and all signs should be removed by 10 days after the election.
