MARSHALL – In preparation for the upcoming 2024 campaign season, the City of Marshall is addressing concerns raised during the 2022 elections about the placement of political campaign signs. The city aims to inform residents about regulations governing the placement of these signs and the process for addressing complaints.
Improperly positioned political signs pose safety risks and can obstruct drivers’ visibility along streets and roadways. Moreover, city right-of-ways serve vital functions such as water distribution, sewage, and electronic communications.
In an effort to uphold essential services and enhance traffic safety while providing candidates with a platform to engage the public, the city emphasizes adherence to regulations concerning political signage. Additionally, a structured procedure has been established to manage complaints from citizens regarding sign placement.
