Cal. Elec. Code § 403 — Elections in 2026 through 2029 is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
A law enforcement officer shall not arrest any person within 200 feet of a polling place on election day during the time in which the polling place is open, except for a crime related to disrupting the operation of the polling place, a crime against a person, or a crime against property. This section does not provide legal amnesty for any crime committed within the buffer zone on election day.
