A nickname may be used on the ballot if it does not exceed 15 letters, does not imply professional or social status, is a derivative of your given name properly acquired or bears no relation to your given name, but it is used in good faith.

It is permissible for a candidate to be stationed outside the polling place but within the above stated 500 feet area, greet voters and solicit votes, provided there are no complaints by voters to the managers regarding this activity, or as long as in the managers’ judgment there is no disruption of the orderly election process. Candidates may not display or distribute campaign literature within this 500-foot area.  A candidate may wear a badge no larger than 4 ¼”x 4 ¼” within 500 feet of the entrance to the polling place. This label may contain the candidate’s name and office sought.

The candidate may enter the polling place, but the candidate’s badge must be removed before entering (Section 7-25-180 (b)). A candidate may not actively campaign inside the polling place.  Candidates and poll watchers should be permitted to look at the voter registration list in the polling place, provided that they do not interfere with the orderly conduct of the election and no one is waiting in line to vote.

A candidate or member of a candidate’s paid campaign staff, including volunteers reimbursed for time expended on campaign activity, may not request an absentee ballot application for any person unless that person is a member of their immediate family.

It is unlawful for any person to procure votes in an election by threat, intimidation, coercion, mistreatment, or abuse; or by the payment, delivery, or promise of money or other article of value.

Placing posters on telephone/utility poles may be considered destruction of private property.  Also, the staples and nails left in the poles are very dangerous for the workers who must climb these poles during an emergency. Utility companies ask candidates to not place signs on these poles.
