Election Day Polling Place Buffer Zones

The following is a list of Forsyth County polling places and a description of each buffer zone concerning electioneering. Buffer zones are set as designated by G.S. 163-166.4. Election officials will mark buffer zones on Election Day with blue tape and “No Campaigning Beyond This Point” signs. Each polling place has a designated campaigning area as described below. Campaigners should never block traffic, parking, or entrances.

Campaigners are not to enter the buffer zone except for use of restroom facilities, specific business with the Board of Elections office, business with another entity in a building jointly occupied, or for voting purposes. Please note public restroom facilities may not be available at all polling places. Access to non-public restrooms is at the discretion of the Chief Judge.

While inside the buffer zone for one of the aforementioned reasons, campaigners should refrain from engaging in activities that violate or appear to violate campaigning guidelines. Campaigning issues or suspected violations are to be brought to the attention of the Chief Judge and the Board of Elections office.
