HB 4127 enhances voter safety and confidence by prohibiting firearms within 100 feet of polling places, early voting locations, absentee ballot drop boxes, and clerk’s offices where ballots can be submitted in the 40 days before an election. By creating a secure, intimidation-free voting environment, the bill helps ensure that every voter can participate in elections without fear.
