California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a package of election-related bills Saturday aimed at limiting law enforcement interference with ballots and election administration ahead of the November midterm elections.

The measures create new felony penalties for the seizure of ballots and election records, restrict certain law enforcement activity near polling places, expand access to ballot drop-off locations, and offer translated election materials.
