Multiple unit dwellings
Candidates and accompanying campaign volunteers are allowed access to multiple unit facilities (i.e. apartment, dormitory, nursing home).
They may knock on doors of individual units, conduct voter registration activities, and leave campaign materials for residents.
This access:
- Does not include admittance into a particular apartment, room, or residential unit
- Requires identification as a prerequisite
- Limits visits to a reasonable number of persons and reasonable hours
- Requires a prior appointment to gain access to the facility
Campaigning near or within the polling place
Campaigning is not allowed inside the polling place or within 100 feet of the building.
If the polling place is on public property, no one can campaign anywhere on the property, even beyond 100 feet.
You can't display campaign t-shirts, buttons, or literature relating to specific candidates, official political parties, or ballot questions on the ballot that day. These political materials will need to be covered up or removed while in the polling place.
Violations of fair campaign practices should be submitted to the Office of Administrative Hearings.
