Summary

Existing law makes it a crime to conduct certain political activities within 100 feet of a polling place or an elections official's office while the polls are open on election day. Electioneering is one of the activities prohibited by these provisions. This bill would define electioneering as displaying visible or disseminating audible information that advocates for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot in specified locations. This bill would extend the prohibition on specified political activities to satellite voting locations. Because this bill would change or expand the definition of a crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
