How close can a candidate or a candidate’s representative(s) hand out campaign literature and/or solicit?
A candidate or campaigner cannot come closer than 100 feet to any entrance of any building where there is voting taking place, unless the candidate is voting. A voter cannot wear any type of campaign shirt, button, or anything else that shows support for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot. However, if a voter is willing to cover the shirt, hat, etc., so no one else can see it, then the voter will be allowed to vote.
