HB 1230 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

No Federal Interference in Elections.

This bill prohibits federal or state troops from being stationed at North Carolina voting locations within 17 days of an election, unless they are needed to repel an armed enemy. It also restricts the release of voters' personal data, such as social security numbers and email addresses, to federal agencies unless a judge issues a court order or arrest warrant. While the law allows standard law enforcement to remain for emergencies or specific requests, it creates a legal path for voters to seek court injunctions if these rules are violated. The legislation applies to all elections held on or after it becomes effective and includes penalties for those who breach these protections.
