We wanted to send the following information out in emails to all candidates that will have races in Wagoner County precincts. Unfortunately, the file sizes are to large, so we are sharing here instead.
Dear Candidate,
As we prepare for the upcoming election, the Wagoner County Election Board wanted to provide you with information regarding Election Day campaign sign placement and electioneering laws.
Overall, Wagoner County experiences very few issues on Election Day, and we appreciate the cooperation candidates, volunteers, and supporters consistently show toward our precinct officials and voters. One of the more common challenges we do face, however, is inappropriate campaign sign placement at polling locations. This is an issue experienced by Election Boards across the state, and often occurs simply because supporters may not be familiar with Oklahoma electioneering laws.
Under Oklahoma law, campaign signs and campaigning are prohibited within 300 feet of the ballot box on Election Day, and Early Voting Days. Please note that this distance is measured from the ballot box itself, not from the roadway, parking lot entrance, or building entrance.
To help candidates and supporters better understand these restrictions, the Wagoner County Election Board is providing:
• A list of precincts affected by your race. Go to the following post (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16rcTL5ZEu/). We can also email this information.
• "It's a CRIME sign" That shows campaign materials that are not allowed.
• Maps showing the 300 foot electioneering boundary at Wagoner County Polling Locations, and Early Voting Sites. These particular maps are an approximate distance from the front door of our polling locations.
In an effort to further educate the public and reduce confusion on Election Day, these maps are also being shared publicly through our page. Our goal is simply to help ensure a smooth and orderly voting process for voters, candidates, and precinct officials alike.
We encourage you to share this information with your campaign staff, volunteers, and supporters prior to Election Day to help avoid any issues regarding sign placement.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Wagoner County Election Board office. We appreciate your cooperation and your commitment to the election process.
Sincerely,
Wagoner County Election Board
