>From Connie Nompelis -
Right now,(2PM) Shada Buyobe-Hammond and friends are
sitting on my lawn, waiting for folks to come on their
way to the polling place which is across from my
house.
At the risk of sounding like a whiner, is this
allowed?
If she's within 100 feet of the building wherein the voting takes place,
then no, it's not allowed.
In case anyone is interested, the relevant statute is Minn. Stat. Section
211B.11
211B.11 Election day prohibitions.
Subdivision 1. Soliciting near polling places. A person may not display
campaign material, post signs, ask, solicit, or in any manner try to induce
or persuade a voter within a polling place or within 100 feet of the
building in which a polling place is situated, or anywhere on the public
property on which a polling place is situated, on primary or election day to
vote for or refrain from voting for a candidate or ballot question. A person
may not provide political badges, political buttons, or other political
insignia to be worn at or about the polling place on the day of a primary or
election. A political badge, political button, or other political insignia
may not be worn at or about the polling place on primary or election day.
This section applies to areas established by the county auditor or municipal
clerk for absentee voting as provided in chapter 203B.
That's all. Happy voting.
