Join moderator Rob Hamor along with municipal law attorney Courtney Gabbara Agrusa as they discuss best polling practices for electors and municipalities leading up to and on election day including:

• What to expect at Polling Places: 
  • Common Do's and Don'ts
  • What is permitted and what isn’t:
    • Can people post videos of themselves voting on their social media?
    • Can voters wear political clothing or buttons inside a polling place?
    • Can people campaign outside of a polling place?
• What are the roles of poll watchers and challengers?
  • What are poll watchers allowed to do at polling locations?
• What is legal for political yard signs:
  • In the months leading up to an election, it is a frequent sight to see lawns dotted with political candidate signs. However, if a house that sits across from a school is displaying signs on their lawn that contain vulgar language, can the municipality ban that person from displaying those signs?
