Boundary Enforcement
To ensure the integrity of the voting process and protect every citizen's right to cast a ballot free from intimidation or confusion, a strict 100-foot campaign-free boundary is established at every polling place. This restricted zone is measured from the designated entrances of the building where the election is held. Within this building and the 100-foot zone, the display of campaign posters, signs, or banners is prohibited, as is the distribution of any political literature or the solicitation of votes for any candidate, party, or ballot question. Campaign workers and solicitors must remain outside this boundary to conduct any expressive activities or hand out materials.
Voters entering the campaign-free zone must also be mindful of their apparel and personal items. Regulations prohibit the display of campaign materials, including specific items of clothing or accessories, while inside the polling place or the 100-foot boundary.
Prohibited items of display include:
✕ Buttons
✕ Hats
✕ T-Shirts
✕ Pins
What is allowed? Individual voters are permitted to carry campaign literature or sample ballots inside the boundary for their own personal use while voting, provided these items are not displayed to others. Additionally, vehicles with small bumper stickers supporting a candidate or party may park within the boundary while the owner is voting. However, this does not apply to vehicles displaying large campaign signs or those used primarily for transporting groups of people for campaigning purposes.
