The Groton Town Clerk would like to remind the public (especially those who campaign),
of Grotons policy regarding signage at the polls and the 150 foot rule. Precincts
2 and 3 are housed at the Groton-Dunstable Regional Middle School North School District
located at 346 Main Street. Precinct 1 is housed at the Senior Center located at
163 West Main Street in West Groton. All candidates and supporters must abide by
the sign policy adopted by the Board of Selectmen. There are no unattended signs
allowed at the polling locations. Attended signs however, are allowed at the polling
location outside the 150 foot radius. Attended constitutes a person is holding
or standing immediately adjacent to a sign.
As an additional reminder, candidates and their workers must abide by MGL 54:65,
more commonly known as the 150 foot rule. At the polling sites on Election Day,
we will have signs marking the radius of 150 foot from the entrances to the polling
places. All candidates and campaign workers must remain outside the 150 foot mark
if they are campaigning in any way. No stickers, signs, badges, or other campaign
paraphernalia will be allowed beyond this point. There is no oral campaigning within
this 150 foot area.
If you have any questions regarding election day procedures, please feel free to
contact the Clerks office at 978-448-1100.
