The bill amends the law concerning the conduct of elections in Arkansas by allowing county boards of election commissioners to designate specific restroom facilities for use by campaign workers and volunteers at polling sites. The new section, 7-5-325, outlines the provisions under which these designated restrooms can be utilized, ensuring that campaign workers or volunteers working outside the polling site have access to restroom facilities within the polling site.
Additionally, the bill establishes guidelines for campaign workers and volunteers when using these designated restrooms. Before entering, they must cover or remove any campaign materials, refrain from soliciting votes, and avoid interaction with poll workers. Violating these guidelines will classify the individual as engaging in electioneering, as defined in existing law. This amendment aims to facilitate the needs of campaign personnel while maintaining the integrity of the election process.
