Indiana Campaign Sign Laws: Polling Places and Right-of-Way
What Indiana state law says about campaign yard signs: Electioneering, which includes displaying a "sign, button, or placard" naming a party or candidate, is banned on election day within the polls or the chute, an area that "extends fifty (50) feet in radius" from the entrance; early-voting sites have the same chute. More rules are in the table below. Every rule links to the official text, checked on November 2, 2026.

This is general information read from the official Indiana sources linked below on November 2, 2026. Cities, counties, the state transportation department and HOAs can add stricter rules. Check with your local election office or your city's code enforcement office before you rely on a date.

The Indiana rules, from official sources
Polling places

Right-of-way and private property
Political signs can't go on anyone else's property, including a highway right-of-way or utility poles, without the owner's permission. An unauthorized sign in a highway right-of-way is a public nuisance that only the highway authority may remove.

FlyerFly is an app for putting out yard signs and door hangers with your own crew. When your team puts out a sign, the app saves a GPS pin, a photo and the time, so you can see where every sign you placed is. While a job runs, your crew member's dot moves on your map with a Live badge, and a GPS trail shows where they went. It does not check whether a spot is legal, so use the rules above. It's nonpartisan and works the same for any campaign.
