The proposed bill would amend existing statutes related to the conduct of elections by expanding the areas where electioneering is prohibited. Specifically, it would insert language to clarify that the seventy-five foot limit applies not only to polling places but also to designated ballot receptacles while they are accessible to the public. Additionally, it would specify that individuals authorized to be within this limit, such as election officials and party representatives, are prohibited from wearing or displaying materials that express support for or opposition to any political candidate or issue within these areas.

Furthermore, the bill would make several deletions and modifications to current language. It would remove certain phrases regarding the presence of election officials and party representatives, while also updating the language to clarify that violations of these provisions would result in a class 2 misdemeanor. The bill would also ensure that the restrictions on electioneering apply uniformly to both polling places and designated ballot receptacles, thereby enhancing the integrity of the election process.
