With early voting getting underway starting today, Fayette County Clerk Jessica Barker wants the public to know the Fayette County Courthouse will now be a Campaign Free Zone. Barker says that if you do not wish to remove bumper stickers/decal from your vehicle you will no longer be able to park on the property. For any questions you can contact Barker at the Fayette County Courthouse at extension 3010.
The Fayette County Courthouse and grounds are officially considered a Polling location and is now a Campaign Free Zone, statute 10ILCS 5/7-41.
Any persons entering grounds with such propaganda (hats, shirts, masks, decals, etc.) will be asked to cover or remove propaganda items.

This law pertains to all Polling Locations and will be strictly enforced.
