VOTERS/VOTING: Provides relative to early voting (OR INCREASE GF EX See Note)

HB 424 amends Louisiana's early voting rules to require parishes (counties) to add at least one additional early voting location for every 50,000 voters or 500 square miles of land. It mandates that all locations be accessible public facilities, with clear notice posted online and at election offices. The bill also requires the state to reimburse parishes for related costs (like rentals or temporary staff) if the legislature allocates funds for this purpose. This directly affects parish election offices and voters by expanding early voting access based on population or geography. The bill is currently pending in the House Committee on House and Governmental Affairs.
