REGULATING CAMPAIGN MATERIALS ON TOWNSHIP PROPERTY
Section 57 of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act, MCL 169.257, prohibits the use of township property to expressly advocate voting for or against a candidate or ballot question.

On Election Day, Michigan Election Law prohibits campaign materials and campaigning within 100 feet of the entrance to any polling place (MCLs 168.744 and 168.931).

May a township regulate materials and campaigning outside of the 100-foot limit on township property on Election Day? Yes. As long as the policy is equally and consistently applied, a township board may adopt a policy that it will remove unattended campaign signs or other materials from township property outside of the 100-foot limit on Election Day. Or, a board may adopt a policy that it will not “police” its property on Election Day because township officials and employees are busy administering the election. Or, a board may adopt a policy that it will allow unattended campaign materials to be placed in a specific spot on township property on Election Day. A township may also regulate vehicle or other use of the township’s parking lot.
