Signs for and against the bond and override election in front of Deer Valley Unified School District's office on Oct. 12, 2023.

It’s an off-year election, but in cities with bonds and overrides on the ballot, you can see plenty of signs up in advance of Election Day on Tuesday. 

In many cases, instead of supporting or opposing a candidate, these signs are encouraging voters on how to cast their ballots on school district bonds and overrides. But, there have been some questions raised about those signs, and whether they may be a little too similar from one district to the next.

Mary Jo Pitzl of the Arizona Republic has reported on this, and she joined The Show to talk about it more.
