I had an interesting experience this morning.  I live in what in Nevada is called a Homeowners Association (HOA) or Common Interest Community (CIC)....HOA or CIC's are governed by a separate set of CCR's, Rules and Regulations, and Bylaws...drafted just for that community.  Yesterday I put a couple of political signs in my front yard....lo and behold, this morning I received a phone call from the association manager telling me that the signs cannot be there.  I "knew" differently....and said I understood that flags and political signs were exempt from any restrictions, per state law.  We agreed to both check into it and here is what I found out....in Nevada...

      1.  The executive board shall not and the governing documents must not prohibit a unit’s owner or an occupant of a unit from exhibiting a political sign within such physical portion of the common-interest community as that owner or occupant has a right to occupy and use exclusively if the political sign is not larger than 24 inches by 36 inches.

      2.  The provisions of this section establish the minimum rights of a unit’s owner or an occupant of a unit to exhibit a political sign. The provisions of this section do not preempt any provisions of the governing documents that provide greater rights and do not require the governing documents or the executive board to impose any restrictions on the exhibition of political signs other than those established by other provisions of law.

      3.  As used in this section, “political sign” means a sign that expresses support for or opposition to a candidate, political party or ballot question.

So, if you live in an HOA or CIC, or even if you don't....support your political canididate....call your political party's office and ask if you can come down and pick up a sign....while you're there.....volunteer some time....an hour or two is all they need from each registered voter.
