There is an email that is circulating across the country about campaign materials and elections. Please check with your local county office about the details. In Georgia, the law states: "No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute any campaign literature, newspaper, booklet, pamphlet, card, sign, or any other written or printed matter of any kind, nor shall any person conduct any exit poll or public opinion poll with voters on any primary or election day: (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is established; (2)Within any polling place; or (3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place."

For Georgians, check out this website for dates and times.  For the other states, contact your Sec. of State.

If you want to campaign for your candidate, here is the rule:

"No person may campaign; distribute literature of written or printed matter of any kind; wear campaign buttons, signs, pins, stickers, T-shirts, etc.; circulate petitions; or perform similar activities within 150 feet of the building in which a polling place is located."

 
Time is of the essence - this will be a historical moment - be a part of it!
