Relating to: criminalizing certain conduct intended to interfere with certain election activities and providing a penalty.

AB 515 makes it a crime to disrupt elections by engaging in loud, harassing, or intimidating behavior at polling places or absentee voting sites during voting hours. It directly affects individuals who interfere with voters, election officials, or municipal staff performing election duties. The bill increases penalties for crimes committed specifically to target election activities, such as attacking someone because they were voting or working at a polling place. Violators face fines up to $10,000 or up to 9 months in jail, with steeper penalties for repeat offenses or crimes against election workers.
