Political Signs

Political-sign regulation in Colonie operates within the constitutional framework established by Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015), which held that content-based sign regulations are subject to strict scrutiny. The Town of Colonie's sign chapter in the Town Code (ecode360.com/CO0290) regulates temporary signs by size, location, duration, and structural-safety criteria on a content-neutral basis. Political signs receive the same temporary-sign treatment as other non-commercial messages. Signs in the public right-of-way are generally prohibited regardless of content.
