LAS VEGAS, May 23 (UPI) -- Nevada residents voting in the state's upcoming primary election have been told wearing chicken suits to the polling places will not be allowed, officials said.
State election officials added the suits to a list of banned items after Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden made a campaign comment suggesting bartering with doctors for medical care like when "our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor," The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Saturday.
Officials say wearing a chicken costume to a polling place would be like wearing a campaign button or T-shirt for a candidate, which is prohibited, the newspaper reported.
If someone does show up in a chicken costume and it's all they have on, officials said, they would be allowed to vote but would then have to leave the polling place and stay at least 100 feet away.
