With the upcoming elections, staff wanted to review the current Election Sign Policy to ensure changes were made prior to any election signs being posted in the City.
There will be three elections this year, starting in the city of Corner Brook, the province of NL and the federal election. Dates have yet to be announced but the city is out with a new revised policy surrounding election signs. At this week’s public meeting, Councillor Vaugh Granter says staff have been working on a full policy review and part of that is identifying changes that need to be made. With the upcoming elections, staff wanted to review the current Election Sign Policy to ensure changes were made prior to any election signs being posted in the City. Changes made to the policy include definitions for clarification purposes, outlining provisions related to where signs are permitted and not permitted, especially in regards to ensuring signs are not placed in an area where they may pose an obstruction that would be considered a safety hazard. Other changes include to stipulate that signs are only placed on private property if they have the owner's/occupant's permission, campaigning is conducted in compliance with the Elections Act and to safeguard a fair and democratic campaign and election among candidates.
