Bill overview
The Polling Access Safety Act of 2019 aims to protect voters by limiting the actions of immigration enforcement officials near polling places. Specifically, the bill prohibits immigration enforcement actions, ID checks, and certain DHS activities within one mile of a polling place on election days, unless there are immediate safety concerns. It also requires notice to be posted at polling locations and restricts the use of information obtained in violation of these rules. Furthermore, the bill establishes oversight mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance.
