Relating to providing water to voters near a polling place.
HB 1900 requires that water distributed to voters waiting in line at polling places must be in single-use sealed containers without political branding or messaging, and must be provided in a nonpartisan manner that doesn’t obstruct voting. It prohibits distributors from wearing campaign-related attire or displaying political materials and authorizes election officials to remove violators. The bill directly affects voters waiting in line and anyone distributing water near polling locations, including volunteers or organizations. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and creates specific rules for water distribution during elections.
