Campaign signs that put your name in front of voters
Name recognition starts at the curb. We help first-time candidates and seasoned campaign managers plan the right mix of yard signs, corner signs and banners, and get them delivered before early voting starts.

ServiceNonpartisan, every party
MySignPal is nonpartisan. We quote campaign signs for candidates of every party, for school board and city council races through statewide contests, and for ballot questions on either side.
Signs won't win a race on their own, but they're not nothing. A widely cited set of four randomized field experiments found that lawn signs raised the advertised candidate's vote share by a bit more than one percentage point on average. In a close local race, that matters. Our guide on why campaign signs matter covers the research and how to put signs where they'll do the most good.

Options
Choices to make
- Room for a "Paid for by" disclaimer: federal candidates generally need one, and many states have their own rules
- Union-printed signs (union bug) if your campaign requires them; not every shop is a union shop, so tell us up front
- Party, office and district lines sized so the name stays the hero
- Matching your campaign colors from hex or Pantone values
- Double-sided printing for signs that face two-way traffic
- Staggered delivery: a first wave, then a reorder before early voting

Questions, answered
Do you work with candidates from every party?
Yes. MySignPal is a nonpartisan service and quotes signs for candidates and ballot issues across the political spectrum.
Does my sign need a "Paid for by" line?
Federal candidates generally do under FEC rules, and many states and localities have their own disclaimer requirements. Confirm the exact wording and size with your state election commission; we'll make sure the layout has room for it.
How many campaign signs should I order?
It depends on your district size, supporter list and budget. Many campaigns order an initial batch for committed supporters and key corners, then reorder once requests come in. Our size guide walks through the math.
When should I order?
Work backward from when signs can legally go up in your area and from early voting. Build in time for proofing, production and shipping, plus a buffer. Ask for current turnaround when you request your quote.
