The bill amends R.S. 18:1462(A)(4) to enhance the regulations surrounding activities during early voting and on election day in Louisiana. Specifically, it prohibits the wearing of campaign apparel, in addition to placing or displaying political signs and other forms of political advertising within a six hundred foot radius of polling places. This measure aims to maintain a campaign-free environment to protect the integrity of the voting process and ensure that citizens can exercise their right to vote without intimidation or distraction.

The bill also establishes penalties for violations of these prohibitions, reinforcing the state's commitment to safeguarding the electoral process. By creating a clear boundary for campaign-related activities, the legislation seeks to minimize confusion and disorder at polling locations, thereby promoting a more orderly and fair voting experience for all citizens.
