This bill amends R.S. 18:536 regarding the notice of changes to polling places in Louisiana. It requires that when a parish governing authority or president changes a polling place, they must provide adequate notice not only of the location change but also the reason for the change. Additionally, the governing authority is mandated to inform the secretary of state about all polling place changes and the reasons for each change. The secretary of state will then list these changes on their website in a sortable format. Furthermore, the bill allows parish registrars of voters or clerks of court that maintain a website to publish a list of polling place changes and their reasons on their own sites, along with a link to the secretary of state's website. Each website must also include instructions for voters on how to subscribe to receive electronic notifications regarding polling place changes. The provisions of this act will take effect on July 1, 2025.
