Maryland law prohibits electioneering within 100 feet of the entrance or exit to a polling place on Election Day. No electioneering means that no canvassing, electioneering, campaigning or posting of any campaign political material is permitted within the 100‐foot zone. Posting of any campaign material is broadly interpreted to mean the wearing of any article of clothing, hat, sticker or button that indicates support of or opposition to any candidate, question or political party.
Two local churches have again offered their facility for use as a polling location for the City’s Primary and General Elections – Harvest Baptist Church and Wicomico Presbyterian Church. For our District 1 polling location, we are going to use the City of Salisbury Fire Station #16, located at 325 Cypress Street, instead of Saint James AME Zion Church.
They are asking for your cooperation that political signs not be displayed on their properties during Election Day. In order to be consistent throughout all three polling locations, we request that you
adhere to the following guidelines:
No campaign signs are to be staked/placed on the polling location’s property; and
No vehicles of any type, including trailers, are to be parked on the polling location’s property that contains campaign signs or material.
Candidates and/or campaign workers are welcome to distribute literature within the polling location’s boundaries as long as they adhere to the 100‐foot zone.

But you can have a giant muro of your face painted on the wall and it's ok. "Obama muro during election of 2012"
....and the public knows that rainbow banners is secret code for a particular candidate. Therefore, it is considered a "campaign banner".
12:04, what is a "muro"?
If signs are permitted outside the 100 foot line, and the
Far Palace is owned by the voters, what pompous a$$ declared that signs were not allowed? Surely the property line is more than 100 feet in some locations.
I don't think churches or the fire station will have a mural of mayor Ireton on their wall.
Think about it. LOL!
