HB 664 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

ELECTIONS: Increases the qualifications for United States senator and representative in congress

This bill modifies Louisiana election laws to require that ballots for federal Senate and House candidates include neutral notices if a court allows them to run despite objections regarding their qualifications. Specifically, the notice would inform voters about relevant facts concerning whether the candidate meets constitutional requirements, such as U.S. citizenship and state residency. The legislation directs the Department of State to create rules for implementing these ballot disclosures, ensuring voters receive clear information when a candidate's eligibility has been legally contested.
