House Bill No. by Representative Wyble amends R.S. 18:1462(A)(4) to enhance the regulations surrounding activities during early voting and on election day. The bill specifically 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 ensure voters can exercise their right to vote without intimidation or distraction.
The legislation establishes penalties for violations of these prohibitions, reinforcing the state's commitment to preserving the integrity of the electoral process. By creating a clear boundary for campaign-related activities, the bill seeks to protect voters and uphold the democratic principles of free and fair elections.
