The Board of Elections reminded all political parties, candidates and their supporters to observe election laws, specifically the campaign guidelines.<\/p>\n
BOE cited the Commonwealth Code which prohibits anybody from actively campaigning on election day.<\/p>\n
It also prohibits posting or transporting names, pictures or posters or other campaign materials, and setting up of booths within 100 feet from the polling place.<\/p>\n
The board has designated nine public schools as polling places for Saipan, including the Kagman Agriculture Station and the chamber of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
Rota High School and Tinian Elementary School are polling places for Rota and Tinian, respectively.<\/p>\n
In cases where the polling place is fenced in, no person or group of person may post or transport names, pictures, or other materials or set up booth, nor may a person or group of persons loiter or socialize within 100 feet of the four corners of the fenced polling place or places.<\/p>\n
In the case of Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary School (ED No. 4-B), the school boundary begins at the end of the parking lot east of the school grounds (including the cafeteria).<\/p>\n
In election District No. 4-C, the boundary begins on the two corners of the south side of the Legislature building.<\/p>\n
All signs erected within 100 feet of the polling places must be taken down by 7:00 am on Nov. 6, the board said.<\/p>\n
All political signs found in violation of the Commonwealth Code will be removed by election officials on the day of the election.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t matter if these signs are erected on private or public lands, the board added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
