The Primary Election is over and while results are not official until the election canvas is completed Aug. 12, some have won, some have lost and some will move on to the General Election in November.

Maricopa residents growing weary of all the political signs lining the roads are in for some relief.

According to Arizona Revised Statutes, most of these signs must be removed within a specified timeframe after the election, ensuring the streets and public spaces are promptly cleared.

Arizona law stipulates that candidates who do not advance beyond the Primary Election for any reason, win or lose, must take down their campaign signs within 15 days following the primary. That means less roadside clutter after Aug. 15.

Candidates advancing to the General Election may keep their signs up until Nov. 20.

The statute also outlines penalties for noncompliance. Tampering with or failure to remove political signs within the designated period is a violation of the law.

For further details, the full text of the statute is available here.

Candidates and their teams must remove signs advocating a yes or no vote on Proposition 482, signs for winning and losing candidates in the Maricopa City Council and mayoral elections, and campaign signs for any losing candidates.

Only signs for primary winners will remain, including Arizona House of Representatives candidates in Legislative District 16, Chris Lopez, Teresa Martinez and Keith Seaman; Pinal County Board of Supervisors candidates in District 1, Rich Vitiello and George Arredondo; Pinal County Sheriff nominees Ross Teeple and Patrick Melvin; and Pinal County Attorney Republican nominee Brad Miller.
