Custom political yard signs and campaign signs printed on weather-resistant corrugated plastic with UV inks that hold color through rain, sun, and the full stretch of a campaign. Whether you're running for city council, school board, or a countywide seat, your election signs need to work as hard as you do — standing visible at busy intersections, on supporter lawns, and at the polling location on election day.
Order standard 18″ × 24″ political lawn signs or choose custom dimensions. Add your name, the office you're seeking, a campaign slogan, and an optional QR code that links voters directly to your platform. H-stakes ship with bulk orders so your signs go from the box to the ground without extra hardware. Pair your yard signs with matching car magnets and election water bottle labels for a coordinated campaign kit that looks professional at every touchpoint.

What to put on a political campaign sign
Effective campaign signs communicate fast — most voters see them at 35 mph.
Most important
Candidate name
Name recognition is the primary goal of political signage. Your name should fill at least half the sign face and be legible from 50 feet. Sans-serif fonts in bold weight read fastest from a moving car.
Office sought
Include the specific seat: "For City Council," "School Board District 4," or "County Commissioner." Voters who know the race are more likely to remember the name attached to it.
Campaign colors
Red, white, and blue remain the most trusted palette in U.S. political signage. Consistent color across your yard signs, car magnets, and water bottle labels creates a cohesive brand presence in your district.
Optional: QR code or website
A scannable QR code linking to your campaign site adds a digital touchpoint without cluttering the design. Keep it to a corner placement — it should support the name, not compete with it.
Pro tip — the visual loop strategy: Carry the same hex color from your yard signs through to every piece of campaign material. If your signs use navy #1a3a6b, your car magnets and election water labels should match exactly. This consistency makes a grassroots campaign look like a professionally coordinated operation — and voters notice the difference.
Political yard sign rules — what you need to know
Placement rules vary by state and municipality. Here's a general overview — always verify local ordinances before your campaign begins.
Private property
You generally have broad First Amendment protection to display political signs on your own property. Some HOAs attempt to restrict signage — but many states have laws limiting HOA authority over political speech on private land. Check your state statutes.
Public rights-of-way
Median strips, utility poles, and road right-of-way areas are typically regulated by local government. Many municipalities allow temporary campaign signs in these areas during election season with size and setback restrictions.
Polling locations
Most states prohibit electioneering within a set distance of polling places — typically 50 to 150 feet. This includes campaign signs and materials. Your county election office will have the exact buffer distance.
When to put signs out
There's no universal federal rule on timing, but some local ordinances limit how early signs may be placed. Most campaigns begin distribution 60–90 days before the election. Signs left up after the election may be subject to removal by local authorities.
Frequently asked questions
What are political signs made of?
Most political yard signs are printed on corrugated plastic (also called coroplast), a lightweight, rigid sheet material that resists wind, rain, and sunlight. The fluted interior makes it strong enough to stake into the ground without bending. UV-resistant inks prevent fading over a full campaign season outdoors.
What size are political yard signs?
The standard political yard sign size is 18″ × 24″, which fits standard H-stakes and meets most local right-of-way size limits. Larger 24″ × 36″ and 4′ × 8′ formats are available for high-traffic or commercial placements. Custom sizes are available for any campaign need.
Can I order custom political yard signs in bulk?
Yes. Bulk pricing is available for campaign orders. H-stakes are included with qualifying bulk quantities so your signs arrive ready to deploy. Contact us for volume pricing on larger campaign orders.
How far in advance should I order campaign signs?
Order at least 2–3 weeks before your planned distribution date to allow for design review, production, and shipping. For large bulk orders or custom sizes, build in additional lead time. Rush options may be available — reach out to confirm current turnaround times.
Are election signs weather-resistant?
Yes. Corrugated plastic signs are built for extended outdoor use. The material is waterproof and the UV-resistant inks resist fading in direct sunlight. They perform through rain, humidity, and Florida-level heat without warping or color loss.
What other campaign materials can I coordinate with my signs?
Pair your political signs with car magnets and election water bottle labels for a fully coordinated campaign presence. Using the same design, colors, and typography across every piece strengthens name recognition throughout your district.
