Guidelines for filming at, reporting from and interviewing at the polling locations
The ultimate guideline: The press cannot interrupt the voting process. This is a broad rule that will be interpreted and enforced by the Moderator
within each ward’s polling location. It is strongly advised that journalists speak with the Moderator at each specific location for permission to film and
seek interviews. Per permission of the Moderator, journalists may film B-roll within the polling location (shots of the ballots, voting booths, etc.) and
outside of the polling locations and interview voters. In terms of interviewing, please do not pressure or press individuals who decline the interview
request; please be respectful of the voters and voting process. Press may park near the location; though not in the parking spots reserved for voters.
