This bill amends R.S. 18:535(B) to enhance the publication of polling place locations in Louisiana. It mandates that the parish board of election supervisors publish the locations of polling places in the official journal of the parish at least once during the third week before each primary election. Additionally, the bill requires that these locations be made available on the secretary of state's website, which will also include instructions for voters on how to subscribe to electronic notifications regarding any changes to polling place locations.

Furthermore, if a parish registrar of voters or clerk of court has a website, they are required to publish a publicly available list of all polling places within the parish, organized by precinct, starting thirty days prior to an election. The bill removes the previous provision that allowed for publication on websites maintained by parish election officials, thereby centralizing the information on the secretary of state's website while ensuring that local officials also contribute to the dissemination of this important electoral information.
