S. 5474: Safe Access to the Polls Act
The bill would bar the use of federal funds to place certain federal or military personnel near polling places during elections. Specifically, it would prevent money from being spent to deploy:
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents or officers,
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents or officers, or
- National Guard members who are on duty or in uniform,
during any voting period if they are:
- within one-quarter mile of a location where an election is taking place,
- setting up a checkpoint on any route to that location, or
- interfering in any way with an eligible voter’s ability to get to the place where they are assigned to vote.
In plain terms, the bill is meant to keep these federal or military personnel away from polling places and voter access routes while voting is happening, and it would prohibit federal spending for those deployments.
