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 campaign workers and volunteers at polling sites. The new section, 7-5-325, outlines the provisions under which these designated restrooms can be used, 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. They are required to cover or remove any campaign materials advocating for or against candidates or ballot measures before entering the polling site. Furthermore, they must refrain from soliciting votes and interacting with poll workers while inside. Violations of these provisions will classify the individual as engaging in electioneering, as defined in existing law.
