U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS - The Virgin Islands Department of Public Works (DPW) reminds candidates who did not advance from the Primary Election that all campaign signs and other political advertising associated with their campaigns must be removed by September 30, 2026.

Pursuant to Title 29, Virgin Islands Code, Section 502 (29 V.I.C. § 502), the placement and maintenance of advertising devices on publicly owned or controlled streets, sidewalks, parks, and other public property, as well as within fifty (50) feet of the center line of a public highway, are subject to permitting and regulation by the Department of Public Works.

Candidates and campaign representatives are responsible for removing their campaign advertising by the September 30 deadline.

Effective October 1, 2026, DPW will begin removing campaign signs that remain within public areas for candidates who did not advance from the Primary Election. Signs removed by DPW will be subject to a $150 removal fee per sign if the candidate or campaign wishes to reclaim the sign.

The Department urges affected candidates and campaign representatives to remove their signs before the deadline to avoid removal fees and help maintain safe, orderly, and unobstructed public roadways throughout the Territory.

For additional information regarding advertising device requirements, please contact the Virgin Islands Department of Public Works at 340-776-4844 or email advertisingprogram@dpw.vi.gov.
