Restricts electioneering on the polling place property

This bill, known as the "Vote in Peace Act," restricts electioneering activities on polling place property and within a 100-foot radius of designated entrances. It prohibits individuals from campaigning, displaying political signs, or consuming alcohol while polls are open in these specific areas. Additionally, the legislation requires that any changes to polling place entrances or exits be clearly marked and only permitted to improve accessibility for people with disabilities or address public safety emergencies. The act also mandates that the American flag remain displayed throughout the election and protects voter information materials from being defaced.
