Political Tabling
During Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) or Residence Halls Association (RHA) student elections, Sacramento State students who are verified candidates running
for the office of President or Vice President of ASI or RHA may be permitted to make a formal request to table in the residence halls or residential complex for
campaigning. Candidates can download the Political Tabling Application.
Political tabling does not include soliciting money for any purpose (campaigns, charity, or commercial). If approved to table in the residence hall, all candidates
must abide by the following conditions:
• Tabling is only permitted from 11 am until 5 pm in the lobbies of the residence halls.
• All applications must be completed and received at least 14 calendar days before the desired tabling date.
• University Housing Services staff will notify the applicant if the tabling request has been approved within ten (10) days of the submittal date and provide
procedures for gaining access to residential areas.
• All tabling candidates will have a name badge and identifiable clothing approved by University Housing Services.
• Any materials distributed by candidates must adhere to the UHS Policies and Procedures under the “Posting, Advertising and Distributing Materials”
section in addition to ASI or RHA election and campaign guidelines and policies.
• Candidates approved to table must know that intimidating, harassing, abusing, or threatening another through threats or using physical or nonphysical
force violates the campus code of conduct and UHS policies. Candidates must ensure their tabling does not “cross the line” into harassment or unethical
behavior. Individuals who believe they have been intimidated, harassed, abused, or threatened may file a complaint with their Resident Assistant,
Residence Hall Coordinator, or the University Police Department.
• The candidate may use sound-amplifying devices or other techniques as long as they do not disturb the peace in the communities.
• The candidate must respect any form of contact refusal by member(s) of the residential areas they are tabling.
Posting, Advertising, and Distribution of Materials
All materials posted, advertised, or distributed within the housing complex must comply with University Housing Services guidelines.
Materials for posting by outside entities must be verified, stamped, and disseminated by University Housing Services and posted in designated spaces.
Materials not meeting these guidelines or those considered obscene or encouraging drug or alcohol use will not be posted and will be removed.
Materials should be single-sided and not exceed 11 inches by 17 inches in size. University Housing Services may approve exceptions. Priority of posting
materials will be based on the following order: University Housing Services, Residence Hall Association (RHA), Student and Academic Departments, officially
recognized organizations and clubs within Student Organization and Leadership (SO&L), and off-campus agencies.
All postings must identify the sponsoring organization, Sac State affiliation, and contact email or phone number.
Postings will be removed two weeks from the posting date except for long-term programs sponsored by or through University Housing Services. All posted
materials will be removed within 24 hours of the event’s conclusion.
University Housing Services does not issue mailboxes to residential students. Thereby, the distribution of materials through the mail is prohibited.
Solicitation
Door-to-door solicitation, both commercial and noncommercial, is strictly prohibited, including passive solicitation through posting, distribution, or placing
unauthorized advertisements or fliers within the North Village residential community. Similarly, advertisements, fliers, and postcards may not be slid under
doors. This also applies to resident and/or student businesses, streaming and YouTube channels, and non-approved on or off campus events (i.e., parties).
Door-to-door solicitation or solicitation of any kind taking place in the residence halls, dining facilities, or in the North Village residential community spaces
that involve video and/or audio recordings shall be considered a violation of both the solicitation and filming policies.
