Clarifying definition of "electioneering"

SB 865 clarifies what constitutes "electioneering" in West Virginia, specifically defining prohibited activities near polling places. It bans displaying campaign signs, distributing literature, or verbally advocating for/against candidates or ballot questions within 100 feet of a polling place entrance during voting hours. The bill exempts news media conducting exit polls, vehicle bumper stickers while voting, and educational materials about ballot questions that don’t explicitly advocate. It also authorizes election officials and law enforcement to enforce these rules and maintain order in the 100-foot zone, with violations punishable by fines up to $1,000 or jail time.
