Lethbridge Council debates potential ban of election signs on public property
LETHBRIDGE, AB – During the Tuesday, March 21, 2023, Lethbridge City Council meeting, council was torn on an official motion that was brought forward by Councillors Belinda Crowson and Jeff Carlson.
In short, the motion would eliminate election signage from being posted on public property, and if passed, would apply to municipal, provincial and federal elections.
Election signs would still be allowed to be advertised on private property.
After several back and forths at City Hall, council ultimately voted five-to-four to send the motion to the Governance Standing Policy Committee (SPC) to be looked at further.
