Sec. 1213.6-4  Political activities and limitation of unlawful activities.

    (a) ACV volunteers are covered by the Hatch Act to the same extent 
as Federal employees. This Act prohibits volunteers from engaging in 
partisan political activities of any sort at any and all times during 
their terms of service, including periods of official leave.
    (b) Section 403 of Pub. L. 93-113 requires that a sponsor's project 
be operated in such a manner as to avoid involvement of ACV volunteers 
in any partisan or nonpartisan political activity in an election for 
public or party office, voter transportation during elections, and voter 
registration drives.
    (c) While engaged in carrying out their duties volunteers may, as a 
part of the project, participate in lawful and nonpolitical 
demonstrations and protest activities which are approved by the sponsor 
as a part of its project activity and which are not in violation of any 
ACTION policies.
