Vote Without Fear Act

HR 2471, the Vote Without Fear Act, forbids unauthorized firearm possession within 100 yards of entrances to federal election sites (like polling places or ballot-counting locations for federal offices). It prohibits carrying or bringing firearms into this zone, with exceptions for law enforcement on duty, firearms remaining in vehicles, and lawful possession on private property. Violations carry up to 1 year in prison for basic possession or up to 5 years if firearms are intended for criminal use. This bill directly affects voters, election workers, and anyone near federal election sites during voting periods, aiming to enhance safety at these locations.
