ELECTION CODE: Provides relative to prohibitions to dual candidacy. (8/1/24)

This bill amends Louisiana election laws to allow state senators and representatives who are nominated for President or Vice President to also run for their current state office in the same election. Currently, state officials must choose between their federal campaign and their state seat, but this change permits them to hold both positions if they win. The law specifically applies only to members of the U.S. Congress who are seeking the highest federal offices, leaving other dual candidacy rules unchanged.
