HB 319 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

ELECTIONS/POLLING PLACES: Provides relative to notice of the reason for changes to polling places (EN +$32,000 GF EX See Note)

This bill modifies the requirements for notifying voters about changes to polling places by adding a specific condition to the existing law. It mandates that officials must explain the reason for any polling place relocation on their website only if the governing authority has provided the necessary details. The change ensures that public notices include context from the relevant authority before being published online. This adjustment applies to election officials responsible for managing polling locations.
