House Bill No. 3918 amends the Election Code by adding new requirements for municipalities regarding the regulation of political signs. Specifically, it mandates that the governing body of each municipality must publish on their official website a copy of any local regulations governing the placement of political signs within their boundaries, as well as a map indicating areas where such placements are specifically regulated or prohibited. This aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of information related to political signage.

Additionally, the bill requires the clerk or secretary of the municipality to provide copies of the local regulations and the accompanying map to various stakeholders, including candidates for municipal office, elections officers of relevant political subdivisions, and county party officials. This provision is designed to ensure that all parties involved in the electoral process are well-informed about the local rules governing political signage. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
