Reminder: Electioneering Is Prohibited Near Voting Locations

May 6, 2026

As we approach Election Day, Imperial County reminds the public that electioneering is prohibited within the immediate vicinity of voters in line to cast a ballot or within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling place, vote center, curbside voting location, or ballot drop box. This includes asking someone to vote for or against a candidate or ballot measure; displaying or distributing campaign materials; wearing clothing, hats, buttons, stickers, or signs that support or oppose a candidate or measure; circulating petitions; blocking access to ballot drop boxes; or speaking to voters about their eligibility to vote. These rules help ensure that every voter can cast their ballot freely, safely, and without interference. Violations may result in fines and/or imprisonment. For more information, please visit the California Secretary of State’s electioneering guidance.
