Below are simple Kansas-ready primary yard sign template ideas you can plug your name into and hand off to our design team.
Always double-check your state and local sign rules before printing, but these layouts work for everything from city council and county commission to school board, sheriff, and legislative races across Kansas.
Quick Kansas sign rules (not legal advice):
Kansas’s 2026 statewide primary is August 4, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026.
During the 45 days before an election and the 2 days after, 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.
Do not place political signs in state highway right-of-way. Kansas law authorizes the secretary of transportation to remove advertising signs located within the right-of-way of state highways.
Kansas electioneering rules apply within a polling place, at an advance voting site, and within 250 feet of the entrance. That includes labels, signs, posters, stickers, and other materials that
clearly support or oppose a candidate or question.
Kansas disclosure rules apply to many forms of political advertising, but the KPDC’s 2026 candidate handbook says yard signs do not have to have a “paid for by” statement.

FAQ – Kansas primary yard signs
1. When is the 2026 Kansas primary and when should I start putting yard signs out?
Kansas holds its statewide primary on August 4, 2026, with the general election on November 3, 2026. Many campaigns begin their main yard sign wave in
the weeks before the primary, then refresh before November where needed. State law also gives a 45-day window before an election and two days after where cities/counties can still regulate size and setback for sight-distance/safety.
2. Where should I place Kansas campaign yard signs?
Your safest placements are private property with the owner’s permission—supporters’ yards, friendly businesses, and campaign HQs. Under K.S.A. 25-2711, cities and counties generally can’t prohibit political signs on private property (or on the unpaved right-of-way for city streets/county roads located on private property) during the 45 days before an election through 2 days after, though they can still regulate size and setback for safety and sight lines. Separately, state highway right-of-way is off-limits for political signs, and signs placed there can be removed. When in doubt, keep SmartFlute® yard signs clearly on private land and review local ordinances and HOA rules before blanketing intersections.
3. Are yard signs still worth it in Kansas if I’m also running digital ads?
Yes. Digital ads are great for targeting and persuasion, but SmartFlute® yard signs excel at name ID and physical presence. In Kansas, voters drive the same arterials, county roads, and neighborhood routes every day; seeing your name repeatedly on yard signs near home, work, schools, and churches reinforces the digital
impressions you’re already buying. Most modern campaigns treat yard signs and digital as a both/and, not an either/or—using yard signs to own key corridors and precincts while digital follows up with
deeper messaging.
4. Do Kansas campaign yard signs need a disclaimer?
Not usually. The Kansas Public Disclosure Commission’s 2026 campaign finance 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, do have disclosure requirements, so confirm the rule that applies to the specific format you are using. Other formats (brochures/flyers, radio/TV, and some internet communications) do require a responsibility statement, and federal candidates/committees should also follow FEC disclaimer rules.
