 With less than a month to go until Election Day, the city of Bemidji is reminding residents to follow the rules when placing campaign yard signs. Staff at Bemidji City Hall has had an uptick in the amount of complaints from residents about signs placed in the public right of way. They have also had complaints about signs being placed without permission. But as the campaign season goes into its home stretch, the city has some suggestions for those wanting to place a campaign sign. I just want to remind people to get permission before they put a sign in a yard and of course to not place them in any public right of way and to check with our GIS mapping program on our website to maybe measure some distances. If you've had a sign picked up because it was in the right of way, you can claim it at the City of Bemidji Public Works Building.
