HB 244 -- Polling Places

Sponsor:  Graham (24)

This bill makes it a class four election offense to post signs
supporting or opposing candidates or ballot questions anywhere
on the property of polling places on election days.  The bill
does not consider bumper stickers to be signs.  Currently on
election days, signs cannot be inside polling places or within
25 feet of the closest outer door to polling places.  The
maximum penalty for class four election offenses is one year in
prison and a $2,500 fine.
