City statute restricts campaign signs in Minneapolis throughout the year and signs must be removed ten days after Election Day. Along with removing their own campaign signs, Minneapolis residents are encouraged to tell their neighbors and friends about this requirement so they can follow suit. This requirement only applies to signs directly tied to the election just concluded. In other words, only signs that have people or issues that voters cast ballots on must come down. Signs that address issues not on a ballot are not affected by this ordinance. </i> From a bulletin on the City of Mpls site:

What if I'm really proud that my candidate won and I want to keep my sign up? I mean, if my neighbors can have xmas lights up in september (seriously?!) I should theoretically be able to keep my sign up. Could someone explain how it’s constitutional to make me take down my sign?
