CAMPAIGN SIGNS If you would like to prohibit campaign signs from being placed on your property, we can assist by informing candidates that they cannot place signs in the ground at your location. Upon your instruction on Election Day, our poll deputy may remove these signs and lay them flat on the ground for the candidate to remove. However, we cannot prohibit people from holding campaign signs on Election Day, provided they do so outside of the 100-foot no solicitation zone. Please note that the poll deputy will place elections office signs (Vote Here and Campaign Free Zone) on your property on Election Day, and will remove these upon the close of the polls. 13 We do not want candidate signs placed on our property. Page 3 of 5 k 111 ACCEPTANCE OF SCHEDULE AND POLLING PLACE GUIDELINES After completing questions 1 -8 above, please read through the below polling place guidelines and provide an authorized signature agreeing to these guidelines and use of your facility for the 2018 election cycle. Adequate space for the voting equipment and necessary clerical stations to serve the voters of the precinct. Adequate lighting, heat/air conditioning. Access to restrooms for poll workers. Electrical outlets for operation of elections equipment (two pieces of voting equipment, electronic poll books, extra lights if needed). Use of a telephone (if available) to call the elections office to verify voters. Tables and chairs for workers. If not available, the Elections Office will provide. Per Florida Statute 102.012(4), poll workers must have access no later than 6 a.m. on each Election Day. They must all remain in place until polls close at 7 p.m. and until all work is completed after 7 p.m. (typically around 8,30 p.m.). No other activities can take place within the polling room while the polls are open, for security purposes. No person is permitted to enter the polling room except election workers, voters of the precinct, the supervisor of elections or deputized staff, persons permitted to assist voters or persons in care of a voter, or emergency law enforcement or medical personnel if called [F.S. 102.031 (3)]. This is important, as it means your staff must plan accordingly as they will not be allowed within the polling room on Election Day to access supplies or materials they have stored there. Access to the polling room on the day before and the day after Election Day for equipment drop off and pick up. The facility will be contacted by the moving company to arrange a time for delivery and pick up of equipment. Delivered items (voting booths and peripheral equipment) do not take up a very large space and can be stored in a corner if the room is in use the day before and after the election. Facilities shall be accessible to and usable by the elderly and physically disabled. Elections staff will survey and determine if the facility meets the required accessibility standards for a polling place. Photography is not allowed in a polling room [F.S. 102.031 (5)]. If there are security cameras present within the polling room, the Elections Office will contact you to make arrangements that will comply with this law. Florida law prohibits solicitation (petition-seeking, passing out campaign literature, posting of signs, etc.) within 100 feet of the polling place entrance [F.S. 102.03] (4)]. Outside the 100-foot zone surrounding the entrance the property owner has jurisdiction and may add further restrictions Page 4 of 5 a The Seminole County Supervisor of Elections will be producing voter assistance videos to aid voters in locating their polling locations. To that end we will be contracting with a local vendor to shoot aerial video of the exterior, entrance and overhead aerial view of each polling location. Videos will be used by the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections on our website. Of course, rights to the video remain with the video production vendor. Historically, the Elections Office has not paid a fee for use of a facility. Public tax- supported buildings shall be made available for use as polling places [F.S. 101.71(5)] and most others provide the space as a community service. Given a situation of need, we are happy to discuss reasonable payment for actual cost. We do not wish to create a hardship or expensive inconvenience. I have read the above stated guidelines and as an authorized representative of the polling place can attest that our facility is available on the specified dates and can comply with these guidelines.
