House Bill No. by Representative Taylor amends R.S. 18:1309(A)(2) to enhance early voting procedures in Louisiana. The bill allows each parish to establish additional early voting locations based on population or landmass, specifically one additional site for every 50,000 voters or 500 square miles. It also mandates that adequate notice of these early voting locations be posted not only at the registrar's office but also on the websites of both the registrar and the clerk of court.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that if the secretary of state determines that the registrar's office is insufficient for early voting, alternative locations can be used. The legislation also includes provisions for the reimbursement of registrars for expenses related to these additional early voting locations, contingent upon the legislature appropriating adequate funds to the secretary of state for this purpose. Overall, the bill aims to improve access to early voting and ensure that voters are well-informed about their voting options.
