For information on firearms in a polling place, please review the 2022 Secretary of State guidance on Current Voter Intimidation and Firearm Laws.
In February 2023, House Bill 4127 was introduced to prohibit possession of firearms within 100 feet of a polling place and early voting locations. The bill also prohibits someone from possessing a firearm within 100 feet of an absentee voter ballot drop box for 40 days before an election, with limited exceptions, including for uniformed law enforcement. The legislation is currently pending.
