Wisconsin - GAB guidelines on recall canvassing near polling places.

Due to the anticipated presence of recall petition circulators at polling places, G.A.B. offers the following guidance for clerks, election inspectors, and petition circulators to use at the polls on April 5, 2011:
...* It is permissible to circulate a petition at the polling place if it is unrelated to the candidate contests/referenda on the ballot.

* Circulators must refrain from “campaign activity” for any contest on the ballot while on public property within 100 feet of the entrance of a polling place.

* Circulators should not solicit signatures from voters in line to vote, but rather wait until voters are leaving the polling place.

* Circulators should not stand in or block the entrance to the building. G.A.B. recommends circulators remain at least 10 feet from the path of travel.

* Circulators should not be allowed in the immediate area where voting is occurring. G.A.B. suggests circulators remain outside the building.

* The actions of the circulators should not in any way interfere with or distract voters or election officials, interrupt or disturb the election proceedings.

* If a circulator is causing a disruption of the polling place, the chief inspector should immediately address the situation and ask the circulator to cease disruptive activity. Circulators who do not cease the disruptive activity will be ordered to leave the polling place and remain outside the 100-foot zone. If the circulator continues to disrupt the polling place, the chief inspector should contact law enforcement to enforce the order.

1. Thanks for posting this!
Very important for anyone showing up with a petition to be able to demonstrate it's legal to be there.
