Political signs protected under First Amendment + Reed v. Gilbert (2015). Snellville cannot restrict based on content. Size/placement rules must be content-neutral.
Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015) held content-based sign regulations subject to strict scrutiny. Snellville Sign Ordinance (Chapter 78) must treat political signs identically to other temporary signs. Typical content-neutral rules: residential properties allowed temporary signs up to 6-12 sq ft, one per candidate/issue per frontage, no signs in public ROW, must be on private property with owner consent, removed within 7-10 days after election. Georgia Code §21-2-414 prohibits electioneering within 150 ft of polling place.
ROW signs: confiscated, no fine typically. Polling place encroachment: misdemeanor under state law.
