VOTER INFORMATION Voting
Sites Required To Be “Campaign Free” Zones
Electioneering
is defined as working for or against a party, candidate or public question, and is not permitted inside the room for voting,
or within 100 feet of the entrance to the room where voting occurs. On Election Day, bright orange cones mark the 100 foot
zone at each voting site in Lake County. Private schools and houses of worship can ban all electioneering on their property.
Then “no electioneering” cones are placed at the property’s edge.
A voter may bring reference materials, including voter guides or other sample ballots, into the voting site.
However, these articles are private resources and must be taken with the voter and not left in the voting booth or room.
Each voting site clearly posts specimen ballots for voters to preview.
Election judges cannot explain or interpret the meaning of public questions or help voters with any candidate information.
It is best to research the candidates and public questions before Election Day. Discussions about candidates and public questions,
or leaving information about candidates and public questions would constitute electioneering and is not permitted.
A voter or pollwatcher may not initiate cellular calls from voting site
or voting booth. Should a voter’s cellular telephone receive a call, the voter should end the call or step out of the
voting room to complete the call. Ballots must remain in the voting room. Election judges and representatives of the Clerk’s
office may use cellular telephones in the voting site to contact the Clerk’s office for official election purposes or
for emergencies. No Bluetooth cellular headsets are allowed in the voting site, including judges.
