Overview

History

Currently, the penalty for any person to knowingly remove, alter, deface or cover any political sign, political mailers, handouts, flyers or other printed materials of any candidate for public office is a class 2 misdemeanor. The period for which these actions are prohibited begins 45 days before a primary election and ends seven days after the general election. The exception for this penalty is for a sign for a candidate in a primary election who does not advance to the general election, the period ends seven days after the primary election (A.R.S. § 16-1019).

Provisions
