It has been illegal for anyone other than election workers to hand out water or food near voting sites in Georgia since the passage of SB 202, known as the Election Integrity Act, in March 2021. And yes, it also prohibits handing out food or water to voters within 150 feet of a polling place or within 25 feet of any voter standing in line. After the Election Integrity Act passed, voting rights groups sued Georgia, arguing that handing out water in voting lines, known as “line relief” or “line warming,” was protected speech encouraging people to vote.
