Waterloo Region Council Election Discussion

[fakepnijjar]

Saw a Rob Deutschmann sign up on Westmount this morning.  I'm pretty sure we're still a few weeks out from when election signs are allowed along the road.

The region of waterloo site says that a candidate's campaign period starts the day they file their nomination papers: https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regio...ocess.aspx

The sign bylaw says that election signs may be posted 45 days before the election (which is not the case -- that would be Sept 9?) or after the writ has been issued: see page 7 here: https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/resou...dation.pdf .

Has the writ been issued for this municipal election? If so I think signs are allowed?

EDIT: Nope, you're correct. The rule appears to be 45 days before election day. https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regio...-Sheet.pdf

EDIT 2: But is that only for regional roads? Do the cities have different rules? Ugh. So confusing.
