This bill enacts a new definition within the Louisiana Election Code, specifically adding R.S. 18:2(16). The newly defined term, "Qualified elector" or "qualified voter," refers to an individual who meets the legal qualifications to vote and is lawfully registered to do so.
The addition of this definition aims to clarify the criteria for individuals eligible to participate in elections, ensuring that the terms used in the election code are precise and unambiguous. This legislative change is part of an effort to enhance the understanding of voter qualifications within the state's electoral framework.
