If people would like to make hand made signs for their homes or friends we ask that you do so with recycled and reusable materials, and take responsibility for legally and carefully placing and removing. Please follow the laws stated below.

To
Political Candidates, Staff and Supporters:
The following guidance is offered by The Kauai
Outdoor Circle (TKOC) and the statewide organization The Outdoor Circle (TOC)
for the use of signs in political campaigns:
Current Law
Political signs are illegal on all public
property. The city and/or state does and will cite politicians whose signs
are posted on sidewalks, median strips, rights-of-ways, etc. These signs
will be removed as quickly as possible.
There are no restrictions on political signs posted
on private property. No limitations currently exist on the size of signs,
the numbers of signs or the length of time signs can be posted by an
owner.
Voters Fed Up
During the last several elections the beauty of our
islands was seriously defaced by campaign signs. Candidates for political
office and their staff encouraged the practice of placing dozens of duplicate
signs on the same property. To gauge the extent to which Hawaii’s citizens
are ready to change this practice, The Outdoor Circle in 2005 commissioned a
survey that reached 524 residents statewide and had a margin of error of 4.3
percent.
Seventy two percent of those surveyed agreed or
strongly agreed that there was too much visual pollution from campaign signs in
the 2004 election. It further showed that an even larger number—76
percent—agreed or strongly agreed that Hawaii needs to enact legislation to
control political advertising. It should be noted that the research showed
that the strongest sentiments for the restrictions were from low income
communities which are traditionally wallpapered with campaign
signs.
Guidelines of The Kauai Outdoor Circle and The
Outdoor Circle
In the absence of successful campaign sign
legislation, The Board of Directors of The Kauai Outdoor Circle and The Outdoor
Circle unanimously passed guidelines for candidates, their campaigns and their
supporters regarding the posting of political signs. If followed, these
guidelines will greatly reduce the visual pollution created by campaign signs in
Hawai‘i.ont>
Please note # 5 below that requests no signs be
erected more that 45 days before the election. Several signs are already
up—six months before the election. TKOC and TOC request that these signs
be removed until mid September.
The following guidelines should be followed for
political campaign signs posted on all private property. Campaign signs
are already prohibited on public property.
1. Each sign displayed will
be no larger than four feet by two feet and the total area of all signs for each
private property (residential, commercial, agriculture, industrial, etc) will
not exceed 16 square feet
2. The signs will not offer
for sale, promote, or advertise any business enterprise or any commercial
product, service, or entertainment
3. No sign will be posted
when a resident or owner of the property has received any payment, fee, or other
consideration of any sort for the display of the sign
4. No campaign signs will
be illuminated by any form of artificial lighting
5. No sign will be erected
more than forty-five days before the day of the election and all signs must be
removed within ten days after the election
6. In multi-family
dwellings with separate residential units, each unit will be entitled to display
signs that meet the above stated requirements
7. A dwelling with multiple
residential units can in its common areas, display signs that are no larger than
eight by four feet, provided that the total area of all signs for such common
areas does not exceed sixty-four square feet
We urge all candidates to respect the visual
environment of our beautiful island home and refrain from the excessive use of
campaign signs during the election. If you have questions regarding the
posting of campaign signs, please call The Outdoor Circle at (808)
593-0300.
