Political Advertising

There are often many questions regarding campaigning and campaign signs, so we’ve provided information regarding these subjects here.

If you are a candidate or a voter, and you have a complaint regarding a candidate’s campaign signs, campaign materials, or campaign practices, please contact the applicable authorities. The Nacogdoches County Elections Office is not the final authority on these matters.

For complaints or concerns about the placement of campaign signs by roads, please contact the Texas Department of Transportation.

Information from the Texas Department of Transportation regarding campaign signs is available here.

For complaints about the language on campaign signs, campaign materials, or campaign practices, please contact the Texas Ethics Commission.

Please also review the City of Nacogdoches Political Sign Placement Requirements.

When Early Voting is conducted at the Courthouse Annex the glass doors are considered the entrance to the polling place. Campaign signs must be 100 feet from the entrance to the polling place. It is preferred that campaign signs are placed in the circle area around the tree in the middle of the main parking lot. Signs may be placed in the grassy area to the left (when facing doors) of the entrance of the Extension Office on the other side of the drive. Make sure to place your signs behind the Nacogdoches County Elections Office Distance Marker signs. We ask that you limit the size of the sign stakes to no more than 1/4" in diameter/width. Please do not drive any type of fence posts into any area around the courthouse campus as we have had damage to multiple water pipes and electric lines. Any sign stake or post that is larger than 1/4" will be removed by our Maintenance Department. You may be subject for any costs related to repairing damaged underground lines. Please be careful.
