Canvassing is allowed in LW

ELECTION NEWS

In this election year, representatives of both political parties are knocking on doors to get out the vote. Some people mistakenly believe this practice is banned in LW. But the GRF cannot legally keep citizens from entering the community and going door-to-door. In 2002, the Supreme Court struck down a law that banned canvassing without a permit, even in gated communities. Political canvassers need to advise Security in advance before they are allowed access to LW. There is a difference between soliciting and canvassing. Citizens canvassing for political reasons are not selling an item or asking for donations.
