Petition Signature Solicitation
- 1. This procedure governs access to college premises by representatives who wish to
solicit signatures on petitions for the purpose of submission of a ballot proposition to
voters, or nomination of a candidate for elective office, in a city-, county-, or state-wide
election.
- 2. The President, or designee, will determine general hours of accessibility for solicitation
and a location on College facilities where all representatives on behalf of any candidate or
ballot proposition may solicit signatures. The location shall be in a common area where the
solicitation will not serve as an obstruction to student activities or otherwise disrupt the
College environment.
- 3. All solicitation must take place in designated areas. Standard space may include one table
and one or two chairs. No amplification devices will be used. Representatives may not
distribute or make available to students, employees, or college visitors any tangible item,
except for informational literature about the proposed candidate or ballot initiative.

location of their intent to be present on College facilities no fewer than three working
days prior to soliciting signatures. Upon obtaining authorization, representatives shall
be provided a written version of this regulation.
