HB 220 Polling places; clarifies exemption allowing a voter to enter wearing apparel with candidate's name.
Introduced by: Vivian E. Watts | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Polling places; campaigning activities. Clarifies that the exemption allowing a voter to enter a polling place wearing a shirt, hat, or other apparel on which a candidate's name or a political slogan appears does not apply to candidates, representatives of candidates, or any other person who enters the polling place for a purpose other than voting. Local electoral boards are provided the flexibility in the designation of the 40-foot prohibited area if an entrance to the building is from an adjoining building, or if establishing the prohibited area outside the polling place would hinder or delay a qualified voter from entering or leaving the building.
