Quick New Hampshire sign rules (not legal advice):
New Hampshire’s 2026 statewide primary is September 8, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026.
Place political signs on private property with the owner’s consent. Political advertising cannot be placed on private property without consent.
Political advertising generally cannot be placed on public property, including highway rights-of-way, and signs cannot be attached to utility poles or highway signs.
New Hampshire law does allow political advertising in certain state-owned rights-of-way if it does not obstruct traffic and is placed with the consent of the landowner over whose land the
right-of-way passes.
At polling places, electioneering is prohibited inside the polling-place building and within one or more no-electioneering corridors established
by the moderator. Those corridors must be at least 10 feet wide and extend from entrances along sidewalks or to the parking lots serving the polling place. Electioneering signs may not be
affixed to the polling-place building or grounds and may not be left unattended.
New Hampshire political advertising must include identifying information for the responsible person or entity. For signs or placards, the law allows an Internet address in place of the full signature-and-identification
text if the address is clearly legible and the website immediately and prominently shows the required information through Election Day.

FAQ – New Hampshire primary yard signs
1. When is the 2026 New Hampshire primary and when should I start putting yard signs out?
New Hampshire’s statewide primary is on September 8, 2026, with the general election on November 3, 2026. Many campaigns roll out their main wave
of yard signs in the weeks before September 8, then refresh or expand before November, where needed. That schedule gives you time to test placements, replace damaged signs, and densify coverage
in core precincts as name ID builds.
2. Where should I place New Hampshire campaign yard signs?
The safest placements are private property with the owner’s consent—supporters’ yards, friendly businesses, and campaign HQs. New Hampshire law prohibits placing political advertising on public property (including highway rights-of-way) or on private property without the owner’s consent, and signs may be removed by state/city/town personnel. The same law
also notes a limited scenario where political advertising may be placed within state-owned rights-of-way if it does not obstruct traffic and is placed with the consent of the owner of the land
over which the right-of-way passes—so campaigns typically default to clearly private placements and check local rules before blanketing busy corners. Signs also must not be placed on or affixed
to utility poles or highway signs.
3. How close can New Hampshire campaign signs be to a polling place?
Under RSA 659:43, electioneering is prohibited inside the polling place building, and the moderator must set up no-electioneering corridors at least
10 feet wide extending from polling place entrances along sidewalks or into the parking lots serving the polling place. Campaign signs count as electioneering materials, so they must stay outside those marked corridors,
and the moderator sets how far the corridor extends. Keep signs outside posted corridors and follow moderator/election official instructions.
4. What has to be printed on New Hampshire political yard signs?
New Hampshire law requires political advertising (including many yard signs) to include a clear signature such as: “Paid for by [candidate or committee name], [address], [treasurer/chairman]”.
For signs/placards, the statute also allows an Internet address in place of the full signature if the web address is clearly legible and the website prominently displays the required information
through the election cycle. Because details can vary by sponsor type and format, confirm the current requirements before printing final art.
