Bill > H662

This bill aims to strengthen polling place security and integrity. It amends the existing law to require that a sufficient number of police officers or constables be detailed to each polling place to preserve order, protect election officials, and enforce election laws. The bill also prohibits county or state law enforcement officers, such as sheriffs and deputies, from being present at or within 150 feet of a polling place without the express written approval of both the Secretary of Public Safety and Security and the local police force. This provision is intended to ensure that polling places remain secure and free from interference during elections.
