Electioneering is not allowed at polling places. You may not discuss any candidate or their views within the polling place or within 100 feet of the entrance to the polling place. You may not try to influence the vote of any other elector. If you are wearing clothing or a campaign button promoting a particular candidate you may remain in the polling place only long enough to vote. If you plan to stay and talk to neighbors while wearing these items you must move at least 100 feet from the polling place entrance. The same goes for bumper stickers promoting a candidate. If you forget the rules you can check with the chief inspector. If you engage in electioneering the chief inspector is legally authorized to have you removed from the polling place.
