Always double-check your state and local sign rules before printing, but these layouts work for everything from city council and county council to school board, sheriff, and judicial races across South
Carolina.
Quick South Carolina sign rules (not legal advice)
South Carolina’s 2026 statewide primaries are June 9, 2026, with primary runoffs on June 23 and the general election on November 3, 2026.
Place campaign yard signs on private property where you have permission.
During polling hours on Election Day and during the early voting period, campaign literature and political posters may not be placed within 500 feet of an entrance used by voters to enter the polling place.
Local city and county rules may limit signs on public property or in public rights-of-way, so check local guidance before placing signs near roads, medians, or utility poles.
Do not deface, vandalize, tamper with, or remove a lawfully placed political campaign sign before the election without permission from the candidate or party.
South Carolina primary yard sign templates you can steal:

Bottom: SCHOOL BOARD, JUDGE, or CLERK OF COURT
Perfect for local and judicial races where the office matters more than party label and voters mainly remember your name.

FAQ – South Carolina primary yard signs
1. When should I put South Carolina primary yard signs out?
South Carolina’s 2026 statewide primary is June 9, with primary runoffs on June 23. Placement timing can also be shaped by local ordinances or site-specific rules, so check local guidance before your rollout.
2. Where should I place South Carolina campaign yard signs?
Place signs on private property where you have permission. Avoid public rights-of-way and other public spaces unless local rules clearly allow placement there.
3. Can I place campaign signs near polling places?
Use caution here. South Carolina law bars campaign literature and political posters within 500 feet of an entrance used by voters to enter the polling place during polling hours and during early voting.
4. Do South Carolina campaign yard signs need a disclaimer?
Not always. South Carolina’s state identification rule exempts campaign buttons, balloons, yard signs, and similar items. Some campaigns still include an attribution line as a practical choice, but I would not make a blanket claim that every yard sign
needs one.
