What’s the deal on Walhalla political signs?

Five Walhallans are bidding for vote support in this year’s city council contests, and some of them are posting road side campaign signs.  That has prompted city of Walhalla to try to clear up questions about political signs inside the city limits.  City government calls attention to the following excerpt from the zoning ordinance:  “Such signs for election candidates or ballot propositions shall be displayed on public rights-of-way only for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the election and shall be removed within ten (10) days after the election, provided that signs promoting successful candidates or ballot propositions in a primary election or unopposed primary candidates and certified petition  candidates may remain displayed until not more than ten (10) days after the general election.  The maximum number of political signs per street frontage will be one (1) every twenty-five (25) feet.”  This year’s municipal elections across Oconee County take place November 2.
