How far does a candidate have to be from the entrance

[blitzburgh55]

Of a polling place in PA? Bachman is handing out flyers at NF01 just a few feet from the door.

Call the League of Women Voters. Maybe they can help you.

2. No electioneering is permitted within 10 feet of the threshold of the door of the room in which

voting is taking place. That means that if the door to where the voting is taking place is an outside door, no candidate or representative can be within 10 feet of said door outside the building. If the voting is taking place inside a building with a door to a hallway, they cannot be withing 10 feet of the inner door.

3. Also, if you wear a hat, shirt or pin for a candidate, you will be asked to remove it, turn it

inside out or leave it in your car and you won't be permitted to vote until you do.

6. It's possible that varies from county to county, in PA.

In Allegheny, Elections Department training specifically states that you can wear any thing you want into the polling place, to back your candidate. You aren't allowed to electioneer inside the polling place, though.

No elections official in this county has the right to tell a voter anything about their clothes, pins, hats, etc. At least in Pittsburgh's Allegheny County.

7. In the county where I have worked for years, nothing with a candidate name can be worn inside the

polling place. It is considered a form of electioneering. We make them cover it while in the polling place. They can turn it inside out, cover it or take it off.

8. Got it, county's discretion.

Thanks for the info.
