Political and Campaign Sign Placement Regulations 

Political Signs are not permitted to be located within the City of Eloy until June 5, 2020.

The City of Eloy Zoning Code refers the requirements for the placement of political signs to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) §16-1019. In particular, the A.R.S. regulates the size, timing and placement of political signs. Specifically, A.R.S. notes that political signs are not permitted until sixty (60) days prior to the primary election date. Because the primary election is scheduled for August 4, 2020, this means that political signs are not permitted to be located within the City until June 5, 2020.

A.R.S. §16-1019 allows for the placement of political signs within the City’s rights-of-way. A.R.S. §16-1019(C) prohibits the City from removing political signs that meet the statute’s requirements, which include restrictions on size (sixteen square feet in areas zoned for residential use and thirty-two square feet in any other area).  The A.R.S. also prohibits placement that would cause a hazard (such as within a designated sight visibility triangle) or would violate the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The A.R.S. includes a requirement that the candidate’s (or their committee’s) name and telephone number or website address of the candidate or campaign committee contact person appear on the sign. 

A.R.S. § 16-1019(H) states that the City’s prohibition on political sign removal applies to the period beginning sixty (60) calendar days prior to the primary election and ends fifteen (15) calendar days after the general election. For the 2020 election, the sixty-day period begins on June 5, 2020 and all candidate signs are subject to removal from the right-of-way on or after November 18, 2020. (Candidates that do not accrue enough votes to proceed to the general election ballot must remove their signs within fifteen (15) calendar days after the primary election by August 19, 2020.

Please note that it is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to remove, alter, deface or cover any political sign of any candidate for public office or in support of, or opposition to any ballot measure, question or issue for the period commencing forty five (45) calendar days before a primary election and ending seven (7) calendar days after the general election. For any candidate not advancing to the general election, the period ends seven (7) calendar days after the primary election.

For purposes of applying A.R.S. §16-1019, the City’s sight triangle regulations are illustrated as follows:

On corner lots, no signs in excess of two (2) feet in height shall be permitted within a triangular area as illustrated above.
