Bill > HR9968

This bill, the Election Worker and Polling Place Protection Act, aims to protect election workers and polling places. It amends the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prohibit interfering with or intimidating election officials, poll watchers, or anyone assisting in the administration of elections. The bill establishes criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for using force, threat of force, violence, or threat of violence to interfere with or intimidate individuals involved in elections. It also prohibits damaging or threatening physical property used in elections, such as polling places or vote-counting facilities. The bill requires the Attorney General or a designee to certify that certain conditions are met before the federal government can prosecute these offenses.
