Kansas’ August 4, 2026 statewide primary has passed, but the campaign calendar is not over. Campaign yard signs can still help candidates build name recognition for the November 3 General Election, city council races, county commission
campaigns, school board races, sheriff races, judicial races, ballot questions, and future election cycles.
Kansas campaigns still have to compete with hot weather, long drives between towns, rural highways, county roads, and neighborhood corners. Your yard signs need to stay readable in real conditions, not just look clean in a design file.
Below are simple Kansas-ready campaign yard sign template ideas you can plug your name into and hand off to our design team for a free proof.

races, and other campaigns across Kansas.
Quick Kansas campaign sign checks
This is not legal advice. Confirm current election dates, placement rules, and disclaimer requirements with Kansas election officials, KDOT, local offices, and any relevant property or road authority before printing or placing signs.
2026 election timing: Kansas’ statewide primary was held on August 4, 2026. The 2026 General Election is scheduled for November 3, 2026. Confirm the current date for your specific race with the Kansas Secretary of State and your
county election office before ordering or placing signs.
Private property and local right-of-way window: During the 45 days before an election and the 2 days after, Kansas cities and counties generally cannot prohibit or limit the number of political signs on private property or on
the unpaved right-of-way for city streets or county roads on private property. They may still regulate size and setback distance for safety and sight lines.
State highway right-of-way: Do not place political signs in state highway right-of-way. Avoid medians, shoulders, ditches, ramps, intersections, and other state-maintained roadside spaces where signs may be removed.
Local safety rules still matter: Cities and counties may still regulate sign size and setbacks when needed for sight distance and traffic safety. Check local rules before placing signs near corners, intersections, driveways, or
busy corridors.
250-foot electioneering boundary: Kansas electioneering rules apply inside polling places, at advance voting sites, and within 250 feet of the entrance. Campaign signs, posters, stickers, and other materials that clearly support
or oppose a candidate or question should stay outside that boundary.
- Yard sign disclaimer note: Kansas disclosure rules apply to many political advertising formats, but the KPDC candidate handbook says yard signs do not have to have a “paid for by” statement. Federal candidates and committees should
also confirm any FEC requirements before printing.
Kansas campaign yard sign templates you can adapt
Template 1 – Challenger, Short and Strong
Top: ELECT
Middle: FIRST + LAST NAME
Bottom: OFFICE and one short value: NEW VOICE • LOCAL FOCUS
Best for newcomers running in crowded local, general election, county, school board, legislative, or down-ballot races who want to feel fresh without cluttering the sign.
Template 2 – Incumbent Re-Elect Layout
Top: RE-ELECT
Middle: LAST NAME (big, bold)
Bottom: OFFICE (for example, CITY COUNCIL • WARD 4, COUNTY COMMISSIONER, or SHERIFF)
Great if you’re already in office and want simple name + office reinforcement on commuter routes and neighborhood corners.
Template 3 – Down-Ballot & Local
Top: VOTE [ELECTION DATE]
Middle: LAST NAME
Bottom: SCHOOL BOARD, JUDGE, or CLERK
Works well for local, judicial, school board, county, city, and down-ballot races where the office matters and voters need to remember your name quickly.

FAQ – Kansas Campaign Yard Signs
1. What Kansas election date should campaign teams check now?
Kansas’ August 4, 2026 statewide primary has passed. The next major statewide election is the November 3, 2026 General Election, but campaign teams should confirm the current date for their specific race with the Kansas Secretary of State and their county election office before ordering or placing signs.
2. Where should I place Kansas campaign yard signs?
The safest option is private property with the owner’s permission, such as supporters’ yards, friendly businesses, campaign offices, and approved private lots. Under K.S.A. 25-2711, cities and counties generally cannot prohibit political signs on private property or certain unpaved right-of-way areas during the 45 days before an election and the 2 days after, though they may still regulate size and setbacks for sight distance and safety.
State highway right-of-way is different. Keep signs out of medians, shoulders, ditches, ramps, and other state-maintained roadside spaces, and review local ordinances before placing signs near intersections or busy roads.
3. Are yard signs still worth it in Kansas if I’m also running digital ads?
Yes. Digital ads can help with targeting and persuasion, but SmartFlute® yard signs help build name recognition in the places voters pass every day. In Kansas, that can mean county roads, neighborhood routes, school areas, church traffic, commuter corridors, and small-town main streets.
Most modern campaigns treat yard signs and digital as a both/and, not an either/or. Yard signs help own key corridors and precincts, while digital ads support deeper messaging and repeated follow-up.
4. Do Kansas campaign yard signs need a disclaimer?
Not usually. The Kansas Public Disclosure Commission’s 2026 candidate handbook says yard signs do not have to have a “paid for by” statement. Other campaign materials, such as brochures, political fliers, radio or television ads, telephonic messages, and certain internet communications, may have disclosure requirements, so confirm the rule that applies to each format you use.
Federal candidates and committees should also follow applicable FEC disclaimer rules before approving final artwork.
