ELECTION DAYS: Provides for local bond and tax elections to be held only during a primary election

HB 534 would require all local bond and tax elections (where voters approve funding for projects or taxes) to be held only during primary election dates, as specified in Louisiana's Constitution. This directly affects parishes and municipalities that hold such elections, shifting them from standalone voting days to coincide with primary elections. The bill includes a limited exception for security districts in parishes with cities over 300,000 population, allowing parcel fee elections in those areas to proceed separately. The law would take effect only if a related constitutional amendment is approved by voters in a statewide election.
