Alabama state law restricts placement of political campaign signs in public rights-of-way, on state highways, and on state property. Cities can regulate residential placement, but content-based restrictions face First Amendment limits statewide.
Under Alabama Code Title 23 and Alabama Department of Transportation rules, political signs are prohibited within state highway rights-of-way and may be removed by ALDOT without notice. Alabama Code Section 17-17-4 prohibits campaign electioneering within 30 feet of a polling place entrance on election day. The Alabama Highway Beautification Act (Code Sections 23-1-270 et seq.) regulates outdoor advertising along federal-aid highways. Municipalities can regulate sign size, duration, and placement on private property under content-neutral rules following Reed v. Town of Gilbert, but cannot ban political signs outright on residential property.
ALDOT may remove signs in state rights-of-way without notice. Electioneering near polls is a Class C misdemeanor under Alabama Code 17-17-4 with possible fines.
