§ 18340 Voter Intimidation Prohibition

• •You cannot use threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence to stop voters from meeting in public.
• •The meeting must be about public questions or issues.
• •Doing this is a misdemeanor, a minor criminal offense.

A group of voters tries to hold a town‑hall meeting about a new school plan, but a group of angry residents threatens them with fists and tells them to leave.

Because the angry residents used threats and violence to keep the voters from gathering, they would be breaking this law.
