Some candidates have had their faces erased by white paint or cut out entirely, while Pakeha candidates have their images spared.
At times, they can be running on the same ticket, on the same billboard.
Auckland City Councillor Paul Young says he's had seven signs destroyed in the past day, and more than 20 in total.
He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
