Is political canvassing considered soliciting?
I’m trying to understand local regulations around various activities in my area. Is political canvassing considered soliciting, and does it fall under the same rules, or is it treated differently? I’d love to hear insights or experiences from the community!

Canvassing is technically not considered soliciting, but it can definitely feel like it, depending on how it’s done. The distinction lies in the fact that canvassing typically involves engaging voters and sharing information about candidates or causes, whereas soliciting often involves requesting money or selling something. Still, there are legal nuances in different areas, and many places have specific rules about canvassing. Always check local regulations before knocking on doors to avoid issues with local laws.

Ugh, it’s such a hassle! I don’t mind getting a flyer, but political canvassing can be annoying. It does feel like solicitation when they’re standing at your door trying to convince you to vote for a candidate or contribute to a campaign. It might not technically be ‘soliciting’ under the law, but it sure feels like it. Can we just get a break from all these knocks during election season?
