House Bill No. by Representative Taylor aims to enhance early voting accessibility in Louisiana by amending R.S. 18:1309(A)(2). 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 legislature appropriates sufficient funds, the secretary of state will reimburse registrars for expenses related to the additional early voting locations, including location rentals, technology fees, and temporary staffing needs. This legislative change aims to improve voter access and participation by ensuring that early voting is more conveniently available to the public.
