Michigan election law universally prohibits political signs and electioneering within 100 feet of any polling place entrance on Election Day, applying uniformly across all municipalities statewide.
Under MCL 168.744, no person may post, display, or distribute political signs, literature, or materials within 100 feet of any entrance to a polling place while polls are open. This statewide rule applies regardless of local sign ordinances and supersedes private property owner permission within that zone. The Michigan Highway Advertising Act (MCL 252.301 et seq.) also restricts placement of any signs within state highway rights-of-way, including political signs, which the Michigan Department of Transportation may remove without notice.
Violation of MCL 168.744 is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days imprisonment, a fine up to $500, or both. MDOT removes right-of-way signs without compensation under MCL 252.317.
