P.R. Laws tit. 16, § 4232
No facility for the distribution of propaganda of any political party, aspirant, candidate, independent candidate, citizen group, or political action committee may be established at a walking distance of less than fifty (50) meters, measured along the public access thoroughfares between the two closest points between the perimeters of the facilities. The local commission may close any propaganda distribution facility established at a walking distance of fifty (50) meters from another previously established facility, measured along the public access thoroughfares between the two closest points between the perimeters of the facilities, after determining the dates on which the places were established, in each case. It may also close the operations of any propaganda distribution facility established at a walking distance of one hundred (100) meters of a private or public school, an office of the Permanent Registration Board, or a polling center, measured along the public access thoroughfares between the two closest points between the perimeters of the facilities. The Chair of the local commission shall notify such decision to the local Commander of the Puerto Rico Police for immediate action.
The Commission shall prescribe, through regulations, the standards needed for the operation of propaganda distribution facilities within the established limits. The implementation of this section shall be the exclusive responsibility of the local commission.
