Referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The Safe Voting Act bars civil arrests of anyone who, in good faith, is qualified to vote and is on their way to, at, or leaving a polling place, ballot drop box, or election office, including the surrounding 200‑foot area. Violators can be sued for false imprisonment with damages up to $10,000, while election officials and law‑enforcement officers retain their usual criminal‑arrest powers.
