HB 1048 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

VOTERS/VOTING: Provides relative to the early voting period (OR +$680,715 GF EX See Note)

This bill expands early voting in Louisiana by allowing voting on Sundays during the early voting period and requires the state to cover the costs associated with Sunday voting. It also mandates that one additional early voting day be added for each day early voting is suspended due to a state of emergency, ensuring voters have adequate time to cast ballots during disruptions. The legislation updates existing laws to clarify office hours, alternate voting locations, and holiday observances while maintaining the requirement for public notice of any election delays or rescheduling.
