Every state has its own set of rules that prohibit what can be worn at or brought to polling places during an election.
In Oklahoma, “electioneering” is not allowed within 300 feet of any ballot box while voting is going on.
Campaign materials for candidates on the ballot including shirts, signs, banners and other literature are prohibited within that space at Oklahoma polling places on Election Day.
Shirts or accessories pertaining to issues or State Questions that will be on the ballot are also prohibited.
Outside of campaign clothing and signs, the ACLU of Oklahoma pointed out amid early voting that the message “Black Lives Matter” is allowed to be worn at a polling place.
The Oklahoma State Election Board says its officials worked with the OU Health Sciences Center to develop protocols for social distancing and disinfection at in-person voting sites.
The election board and OU Health recommends that all voters wear masks at the polls.
