ballot receptacles; electioneering limits
HB 2219 establishes a 75-foot buffer zone around polling places and ballot receptacles where electioneering - such as campaigning, displaying political materials, or attempting to influence voters - is prohibited. The bill requires clear signage at each polling location and mandates that voters leave the zone after casting ballots, while allowing election officials, appointed political party representatives, and authorized challengers to remain within it. It bans photography/videography in the zone and classifies violations (like interfering with voters or trying to sway votes) as class 2 misdemeanors. This law directly affects voters, election workers, political party representatives, and anyone near polling places during voting hours.
