Senate Bill No. 202, introduced by Senator Kleinpeter, amends the compensation structure for members of parish boards of election supervisors in Louisiana. The bill increases the maximum number of days for which these members can be compensated from six to seven days for general election duties. Additionally, it raises the cap for compensation during presidential or regularly scheduled or special congressional elections from eight to nine days.
The changes aim to provide greater financial support to election supervisors for their work in preparing for and supervising elections. The new provisions will take effect on August 1, 2026, ensuring that the compensation adjustments are in place for future election cycles.
