Mississippi’s 2026 election calendar is busy: the congressional primary is set for March 10, with a primary runoff on April 7, the general election on November 3, and a general runoff on December 1 if needed. That’s a
long stretch to keep your name in front of voters. Getting your yard sign layout settled early means you’re not scrambling for design, rules, and placement as the campaign moves from primary to runoff to November.
Below are simple Mississippi-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 supervisor to school board, sheriff, and legislative races across
Mississippi.
Quick Mississippi sign rules (not legal advice):
Mississippi’s 2026 congressional primary is March 10, 2026, the primary runoff is April 7, 2026, the general election is November 3, 2026, and the general runoff is December 1, 2026.
Place campaign yard signs on private property where you have permission.
Do not place campaign signs in state highway right-of-way. MDOT says those signs are not permitted there and may be removed.
Mississippi law prohibits posting or distributing campaign material within 150 feet of an entrance to a building where an election is being held.
Many campaign materials, including signs, require a disclaimer identifying who paid for the communication and, in some cases, whether it was approved by a candidate. Confirm the final wording before printing.

FAQ – Mississippi primary yard signs
1. When is the 2026 Mississippi primary and when should I start putting yard signs out?
Mississippi’s 2026 congressional primary is March 10, 2026, with a primary runoff on April 7, 2026. The general election is November 3, 2026,
and the general runoff is December 1, 2026. Your sign rollout timing will often depend on your district, budget, and local placement rules, so it is better to build your plan around those factors than
rely on one fixed statewide timing window.
2. Where should I place Mississippi campaign yard signs?
Place signs on private property where you have permission. Avoid state-highway right-of-way and other public roadside areas, because MDOT says campaign signs are not permitted there and may be removed.
It is also smart to check any city, county, or neighborhood sign rules before placing signs near roads, intersections, or public fixtures.
3. How close can Mississippi campaign signs be to a polling place?
Mississippi law prohibits posting or distributing campaign material within 150 feet of an entrance to a building where an election is being held. Keep campaign signs well outside that area and follow any
instructions from local election officials on site.
4. Do Mississippi campaign yard signs need a disclaimer?
Often, yes. Mississippi’s Secretary of State says campaign materials, including signs, must include a disclaimer identifying who paid for the material and, when applicable, whether the candidate approved it. The exact wording can vary depending on who
paid for or approved the communication, so confirm the final format before printing.
