Can you wear candidate buttons while working voter registration?
You most likely cannot if you are registering voters as an employee of the local Board of Elections. Different states have different laws governing the election process. In general though, most state require that Boards of Election employees working in their official capacity must remain non-political while acting in that capacity. Some states allow political parties to register voters in the sense that they may hand out the forms to be filled out and filed in order to register. In this type of voter registration activity, where the application is not accepted by a non-Board of Election employee, a person may wear a candidates’s button; but that is allowed because that type of registration is not true registration. That is merely handing out forms.
