Last scannedAug 22, 2026, 1:27 AM

In one sentence

This bill would ban having a firearm within 100 feet of an election site entrance, set penalties for breaking the rule, and require officials to post warning signs.

Prohibits possessing or bringing a firearm into or within 100 feet of an entrance to an election site that a person knows or should know is an election site.
Allows exceptions for law enforcement officers on duty, off-duty officers with concealed carry permits, hired security guards, and people in vehicles who do not remove the gun from the vehicle or brandish it.
Exempts people legally keeping firearms at their home, business, or private property located within that 100-foot zone.
Creates a gross misdemeanor charge for general violations of this rule.
Creates a category D felony charge if someone knowingly possesses a firearm with the specific intent to disrupt, interfere with, or monitor voting activities or election officials.
Requires county clerks, registrars of voters, or city clerks to post signs at least 17 by 11 inches warning that firearms are prohibited in the area.

People who carry or possess firearms near polling places, central counting centers, or locations with ballot boxes or drop boxes.
Law enforcement officers and private security personnel working at election sites.
County clerks, registrars of voters, and city clerks responsible for posting signs.

The bill was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law unless lawmakers later overrode that veto.
An affirmative defense exists for people traveling through the zone only to access private property, but this does not apply if they intimidated a voter or entered an election site.
