The Board of Elections (BOE) is responsible for establishing the no electioneering boundaries, which can be up to 100 feet from the polling place entrance used by most voters. The boundaries should be clearly marked with signs that contain the words "No Electioneering Beyond this Point." The distance guidelines prohibit "electioneering" within 25 feet of the polls. Exit pollsters may be within the 100 feet of the "No Electioneering" boundary because they are not engaged in electioneering. Exit pollsters should not impede voter flow. Outdoor signs may be anchored in place by objects such as rocks. Many election judges bring a few empty milk containers, fill them with water and discard them after the election. Campaign signs may be displayed at polling locations outside the "No Electioneering" boundary at 5:00 pm the day before the polls open (Early Voting or Election Day). Candidates must remove signs from polling sites by 8:00 AM the next day after the closure of the site(s). Political signs at all other locations must be removed in compliance with County sign regulations. If a sign is on private property, the owner should remove them. To make a complaint, check the Department of Permitting Services for more specifics, or use the keyword "signs". Questions on Election Day should be referred to 240.777.8585.
