If you have hosted a Democratic yard sign, thank you for supporting the candidates! If you would like to keep it as a reminder of the historic victory, please do so. If you would rather recycle your signs, please bring them to Rives Park on Saturday or Sunday during one of the lit launches or plant it at a nearby precinct Monday night or early Tuesday morning so it will be there to greet voters on Election Day. Please just be mindful that signs cannot be within 40 feet of the voter entrance/exit. Of course we have a plan to recycle all of the signs after the election! As Dems, we like recycling and plans! If you ordered a sign independently, we are happy to add it to the recycling efforts.
