Custom Political Campaign Magnets
Promote your campaign wherever the road takes you with custom political campaign magnets. Create a removable magnetic sign featuring a candidate name, campaign slogan, election message, logo, office sought, website, or other campaign information.
Political car magnets provide a flexible way for candidates, campaign teams, volunteers, and supporters to display campaign messaging on compatible cars, trucks, vans, and other vehicles without permanently applying a sticker or decal.
Whether you are supporting a candidate, encouraging voters to vote yes or no on an issue, or promoting a local campaign, customizable political magnets can help keep your message visible throughout election season.
Choose from political campaign templates and customize the design to match your campaign branding and message.

Create Political Magnets for Candidate Campaigns
Candidate recognition is an important part of campaign branding, so your candidate name should usually be one of the most prominent elements on the magnet.
Depending on your campaign, your design may include:
Candidate name: Make the candidate’s name large and easy to recognize.
Office sought: Clearly identify the position the candidate is running for.
Campaign slogan: Include a short slogan or message when appropriate.
Campaign logo: Use the same logo and visual identity found across your other campaign materials.
Election year: Add the election year when it is relevant to the design.
Campaign website: Include a short, readable website address if voters need more information.
Call to action: Messaging such as “Vote,” “Elect,” or “Re-Elect” can clearly communicate the purpose of the magnet.
Keep the design focused so the most important information can be understood quickly.
Vote Yes and Vote No Magnets
Political magnets are not limited to candidate campaigns.
Create custom magnets to communicate support for or opposition to ballot measures, propositions, referendums, local initiatives, and other issues appearing before voters.
A ballot-measure magnet might include:
- Vote Yes or Vote No
- Proposition or measure number
- Short issue name
- Campaign slogan
- Website
- Organization or campaign name
Design tip: Keep the primary voting message large and clear so viewers can quickly understand the position being promoted.
Political Magnets for Campaign Volunteers and Supporters
Campaign volunteers and supporters can help extend the reach of a campaign by displaying matching political magnets on their vehicles.
Using consistent colors, logos, fonts, and messaging across several vehicles helps maintain a unified campaign identity.
Campaigns ordering magnets for volunteers should consider creating a simple design that works across different types and sizes of compatible vehicles.
Political Magnets for Local Elections
Vehicle magnets can be especially useful for local campaigns where recognition within a specific community matters.
Candidates and volunteers frequently travel between neighborhoods, campaign events, meetings, canvassing locations, polling areas, and community activities.
A clearly designed campaign magnet can display the candidate’s name and message throughout those everyday campaign activities.
Political magnets can be created for races such as mayor, city council, county offices, school board, local judicial positions, and other elected offices.
How to Design an Effective Political Campaign Magnet
Political car magnets should communicate their message quickly. A vehicle advertisement is not the place for long paragraphs or complicated campaign platforms.
Focus on a few important elements.
Make the Candidate Name the Focus
For candidate campaigns, the candidate’s name should usually be one of the largest elements on the magnet. It should remain recognizable even when someone only sees the vehicle briefly.
Clearly Identify the Office
If voters may not immediately recognize the race, clearly state the office the candidate is seeking. Keep this information easy to read without competing with the candidate’s name.
Keep the Campaign Slogan Short
If you include a slogan, use a short message that complements rather than overwhelms the candidate name. Avoid filling the magnet with several different campaign messages.
Use Strong Color Contrast
Make sure there is enough contrast between the background and important text. The candidate name, voting message, or campaign slogan should not disappear into a busy background.
Use Readable Fonts
Choose clear fonts that remain easy to recognize from a distance. Avoid using overly decorative typefaces for critical information such as candidate names or voting instructions.
Maintain Consistent Campaign Branding
Use the same campaign logo, colors, typography, and general visual style used across other campaign materials. Consistent branding can make your campaign easier to recognize across different advertising formats.
Keep Your Political Magnet Simple
More information does not always create a stronger campaign magnet.
A simple design featuring the candidate name, office, campaign branding, and a short call to action may be easier to understand than a design containing several paragraphs of text.
Think about what someone should remember after seeing the magnet for only a few seconds. Prioritize that information in your design.
Choosing the Right Political Magnet Size
Choose your magnet size based on both your design and the available space on the vehicle where it will be displayed.
Larger designs provide additional room for candidate names, logos, slogans, and campaign information. Smaller options can work well for simpler designs with only a few important elements.
Before ordering magnets for vehicle use, measure the intended placement area carefully.
The complete magnet should fit on a smooth, flat, compatible magnetic metal surface without overlapping handles, trim, deep curves, body lines, or other obstructions.
If you are purchasing magnets for multiple campaign volunteers, remember that different vehicles may have different amounts of usable magnetic surface area.
Political Magnets for Cars and Trucks
Custom political magnets can be displayed on compatible cars, trucks, vans, and campaign vehicles.
Vehicle construction varies, so check the exact area where you intend to display the magnet before ordering.
Magnets require a compatible magnetic metal surface. Some vehicle panels are made from aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, or other nonmagnetic materials and may not work with magnetic signs.
Always test the intended vehicle surface first if you are uncertain.
Installing Political Car Magnets
Before applying your magnet, clean and completely dry both the magnetic side of the sign and the vehicle surface.
Place the magnet against a smooth, flat metal panel where the entire magnetic surface can make contact.
Start with one edge and allow the rest of the magnet to attach smoothly.
Make sure there are no lifted corners, gaps, dirt, or debris trapped underneath the magnet.
If the magnet needs to be moved, carefully lift it and reapply it rather than dragging it across the vehicle.
Caring for Political Campaign Magnets
Remove vehicle magnets periodically so both the magnet and vehicle surface can be cleaned.
Gently clean the magnet and allow it to dry completely before applying it again.
When your campaign magnets are not being used, store them flat in a clean, dry area.
Avoid folding, sharply bending, or placing heavy objects on top of them.
Proper care makes it easier to keep campaign magnets flat and ready for continued use throughout the campaign.
