Election Day 2024: A Guide to Essential Polling Etiquette

Vote Here SignWith a whirlwind of unforeseen storylines all over the news (Trump's assassination attempt, Biden dropping out of the presidential race, etc.), the 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most closely monitored in decades.

Which is all the more reason to have a refresher on proper polling etiquette to ensure compliance and a smoother election day process.

Join moderator Rob Hamor along with municipal law attorney Courtney Gabbara Agrusa as they discuss best polling practices for electors and municipalities leading up to and on election day including:

  • What to expect at Polling Places: 
    • Common Do's and Don'ts
    • What is permitted and what isn’t:
      • Can people post videos of themselves voting on their social media?
      • Can voters wear political clothing or buttons inside a polling place?
      • Can people campaign outside of a polling place?
  • What are the roles of poll watchers and challengers?
    • What are poll watchers allowed to do at polling locations?
  • What is legal for political yard signs:
    • In the months leading up to an election, it is a frequent sight to see lawns dotted with political candidate signs. However, if a house that sits across from a school is displaying signs on their lawn that contain vulgar language, can the municipality ban that person from displaying those signs?
