Protect Our Polls Act ensures safe and secure voting in California elections from 2026 to 2029.
The Protect Our Polls Act aims to safeguard California elections from 2026 to 2029 by preventing law enforcement from arresting individuals within 200 feet of polling places on election day, except for specific crimes. It also allows county elections officials to extend voting hours if disruptions occur due to violations of these restrictions. Additionally, the act encourages using public buildings as polling places and mandates that vote-by-mail ballot drop-off locations remain open during regular business hours for at least 30 days before an election.
