Campaign Signage


 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.
