Election Day is on the horizon, so a brief reminder regarding legal restrictions on political signage is appropriate:
Electioneering outside the 100-foot campaign-free zone is permitted
“Electioneering” is conduct that urges a vote for or against a party, candidate or issue or engaging in political discussion within 100 feet of a polling place. 10 ILCS 5/7-41(c), 5/17-29. Electioneering may take the form of either verbal communication or non-verbal communication – displaying signs, wearing campaign buttons or distributing campaign literature.
Sections 7-41 and 17-29 identify that the 100-foot zone runs from each entrance to the voting room itself, not the entire building.
