Restricts electioneering on the polling place property
This bill, titled the "Vote in Peace Act," restricts political activity near polling places. It prohibits electioneering (like campaigning or distributing materials), political buttons or posters, and alcohol consumption within a 100-foot radius of polling entrances during voting hours. The law also requires maintaining American flags and voter information displays and allows only specific, marked changes to entrances for disability access or public safety emergencies. It directly affects voters, candidates, and campaign workers by limiting political engagement near polling sites.
