Illinois SB3253 establishes campaign free zones around polling places to prevent electioneering.
Illinois SB3253 amends the Election Code to create campaign free zones around polling places. These zones extend 100 feet from polling place entrances and 500 feet from entrances in forest preserve or conservation districts. Electioneering is prohibited within these zones. The State Board of Elections will provide guidelines for polling place signage. Beyond the campaign free zones, electioneering is allowed on polling place property while polls are open. The regulation of electioneering on polling place property is an exclusive state power, overriding local ordinances.
