Lemnios said that in the last several years the State has instituted a policy of early voting in Town Halls and polling places and that there is a state law that regulates how close supporters of a candidate can come to a polling place. This law is designed to allow voters to freely access the polling place without being bothered. The Town has created a policy that would establish two zones at Town Hall (approximately 65' on one side and 80' on the other) where people who wanted to support candidates would be located, thereby creating a buffer zone for the voters. Reilly said he wasn't clear on the policy with respect to whether candidates can leave signs in the area. Lemnios said that Town bylaws prohibit permanent signs in these areas, they are only to be used as a place for supporters to gather. (this evening the Board of Selectmen and Town Manager adopt the following policy for the period designated for in-person and absentee voting and the State's early voting period: No posters, cards, handbills, placards, pictures, circulars or pasters (commonly referred to as stickers) intended to influence the actions of the voters for the ongoing election other than those listed as expressly authorized at polling places by G.L. c. 54. , section 65 shall be posted, exhibited, circulated or distributed in the Town Clerk's office, in the building where the Town Clerk's office is located, on the walls thereof or outside or any closer than the two zones established for those persons wish
The minutes record this motion as "So moved" (or with no wording) right after the paragraph that describes it; the wording here comes from that paragraph.
