SOLICITATION DEFINED

Seeking or attempting to seek any vote, fact, opinion, or contribution; distributing or attempting to distribute any political or campaign material, leaflet, or handout; conducting a poll; seeking or attempting to seek a signature on any petition; selling or attempting to sell any item. (F.S. 102.031(4)(b))

LIMITATIONS OF SOLICITING AT POLLS

No person may enter the polling room or polling place where the polling place is also the polling room, or any early voting area, during the voting hours except the following: official poll workers, inspectors, election clerks, the supervisor of elections or his or her deputy, persons there to vote, persons in the care of a voter, persons caring for a voter, law enforcement officers or emergency service personnel there with permission of the clerk or a majority of the inspectors, or a person, whether or not a registered voter, who is assisting with or participating in a simulated election for minors, as approved by the supervisor of elections. The restriction in this subsection does not apply where the polling room is in an area commonly traversed by the public in order to gain access to businesses or homes or in an area traditionally utilized as a public area for discussion. (F.S. 102.031(3)(a) & (b))

No person, political committee, or other group or organization may solicit voters inside the polling place or within 150 feet of the entrance to any polling place, a polling room where the polling place is also a polling room, an early voting site, or an office of the supervisor of elections where Vote-by-Mail ballots are requested and printed on demand for the convenience of electors who appear in person to request them. Before the opening of the polling place or early voting site, the clerk or supervisor shall designate the no-solicitation zone and mark the boundaries.

DESIGNATION OF SOLICITATION AREA

Each supervisor of elections shall inform the clerk of the area within which solicitation is unlawful, based on the particular characteristics of that polling place. The supervisor or the clerk may take any reasonable action necessary to ensure order at the polling places which shall include, but not be limited to, having disruptive and unruly persons removed by law enforcement officers from the polling room or polling place or from the no solicitation zone surrounding the polling place. (F.S. 102.031(4)(c))

PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED

No photography is permitted in the polling room or early voting area, except for an elector's own ballot. (F.S. 102.031(5))
