City rangers removed and impounded 282 signs during the campaign, which officially ended at 6pm on Monday evening.
A Territory and Municipal Services spokeswoman said a fine of $220 could be issued for each sign, resulting in a potential total of $62,040.
''The administrative process associated with TAMS' investigation of infringements will be finalised next week,'' she said.
If imposed, the fines will be the first collected by the ACT government following the introduction of new legislation earlier this year.
The introduction of the Public Unleased Land Act 2013 on July 1 meant that the ACT government missed out on a potential $83,160 in infringements from the past two election campaigns.
