Permits police officers to be assigned to public school if school is being used as polling place during conduct of election.

This bill (A824) allows police officers to be assigned to public schools serving as polling places during elections. Local election officials (like district boards or county clerks) can request police presence at these school locations for security. The law prohibits officers assigned for this purpose from interfering with voters. It also requires detailed reporting of all such assignments to election officials and the Secretary of State. The bill amends existing election code to clarify this exception to previous restrictions on police at polling places.
