1. The American flag shall be kept displayed at each
  polling  place  throughout  the  election.  Facsimile   ballots,   voter
  information  posting  and distance markers shall not be taken down, torn
  or defaced during the election. While the polls are open no person shall
  do any electioneering within the polling place, or in any public street,
  within a one hundred foot radial measured from the entrances  designated
  by  the  inspectors  of  election,  to such polling place or within such
  distance in any place in a  public  manner;  and  no  political  banner,
  button,  poster or placard shall be allowed in or upon the polling place
  or within such one hundred foot radial. While  the  polls  are  open  no
  person shall consume any alcoholic beverages within the polling place.

  place before the opening of the  polls,  a  voter  information  posting,
  which  shall include: (a) the sample ballot and instructions for the use
  of voting machines required pursuant to section 7-118 of  this  chapter;
  (b)  information regarding the date of the election and the hours during
  which polling places will be open; (c) instructions on how  to  cast  an
  affidavit  ballot  and  a concise statement of a voter's right to such a
  ballot; (d) instructions relating to requirements for voting  on  voting
  machines  by  those registrants who must provide identification pursuant
  to the federal Help America Vote  Act  of  2002;  (e)  instructions  for
  first-time  voters;  (f)  a  voter's  bill  of rights describing voter's
  rights under applicable federal and state law, including  the  right  of
  accessibility  and  alternate  language  accessibility;  (g) information
  pertaining to voting by paper ballot, including  information  about  the
  consequence  of  casting  an  overvote,  steps  to prevent unintentional
  undervoting and spoiled ballots; (h) instructions on how to contact  the
  appropriate  officials  if a voter's right to vote or right to otherwise
  participate in the electoral process has been violated; and (i)  general
  information  on federal and state laws regarding prohibitions on acts of
  fraud  and  misrepresentation.  The  state  board  of  elections   shall
  prescribe  the  form and content of the voter information posting, which
  may be comprised of one or more  pages,  provided  each  page  shall  be
  posted  separately.  The  state  board  of  elections shall prescribe an
  official version of such voter information posting  for  every  language
  which  appears on any general, primary or special election ballot in any
  election district in the state and for  such  other  languages  as  such
  board,  in its opinion, determines is appropriate. Such posting shall be
  used in all jurisdictions, and a  separate  posting  shall  be  made  by
  election  inspectors  for  each language appearing on the ballot and for
  such additional languages as the board of elections may require. A board
  of elections may modify or supplement the voter information posting used
  in  its  jurisdiction  to  provide  additional  or  local   information;
  provided,  however,  any  such  modification or supplementation shall be
  submitted to the state board of elections for prior approval.
    2. The boxes and  all  official  ballots  shall  be  kept  within  the
  guard-rail,  and  at  least  six feet therefrom, from the opening of the
  polls until the annnouncement of the  result  of  the  canvass  and  the
  signing  of the inspectors' returns thereof. No person shall be admitted
  within the guard-rail during such period except the  election  officers,
  authorized  watchers,  persons  admitted  by  the inspectors to preserve
  order or enforce the law, and voters duly admitted for  the  purpose  of
  voting;  provided,  however,  that  candidates  voted for at the polling
  place may be within the guard-rail during the canvass.
    3. The provisions of this chapter concerning the preservation of order
  and apprehension for crime on a day of registration, shall  apply  to  a
  day of election, but a person taken into custody shall not be prohibited
  thereby from voting.

    4.  After  a  ballot  box  shall  have been locked for the purposes of
  election, it shall not be opened until it is opened at the close of  the
  polls  for  purposes  of  canvass.  Each  inspector shall be responsible
  personally for the custody of each ballot box and its contents from  the
  time  the  election begins until the box is delivered, according to law,
  to the person entitled to receive it.
    5. Voters entitled to vote who are on line or in the polling place  at
  the  time  fixed by law for the closing of the polls shall be allowed to
  vote.
