House Bill No. by Representative Larvadain proposes to amend the existing law regarding the campaign-free zone radius around polling places in Louisiana. The bill reduces the current radius from 600 feet to 100 feet, aiming to maintain a secure environment for voters while exercising their right to vote. The legislation emphasizes the importance of protecting voters from intimidation, election fraud, and disorder during early voting and on election day.

The bill also reaffirms the state's commitment to ensuring that citizens can vote freely and without interference. It outlines that it will be unlawful for individuals to engage in certain activities within the newly defined 100-foot radius around polling places, except when exercising their right to vote. The proposed changes will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
