This bill mandates that moderators at polling places designate a specific area for electioneering and provide a schematic of this area to candidates and the secretary of state. The designated area should be visible and within conversation-level sound of the primary entrance to the polling place, adhering to any local regulations. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that the moderator must provide a schematic drawing of the electioneering area within five days after the candidate filing period ends, and this schematic must also be publicly posted, including on the municipality's website.

Additionally, the bill defines "designate" as physically marking the electioneering space and establishes penalties for violations, classifying them as a class B misdemeanor with a potential fine of up to $1,000. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage. The deletions from the current law are not specified in the provided text, but the new provisions aim to enhance transparency and organization at polling places regarding electioneering activities.
