REAPPORTIONMENT/HOUSE: Provides for the districts for the election of members of the House of Representatives
HB 640 defines the 105 electoral districts for Louisiana's House of Representatives by specifying which precincts in each parish belong to each district. It directly affects all Louisiana voters, as it determines which representative they will elect based on their specific geographic location. The bill replaces previous district boundaries with detailed precinct listings across all parishes, ensuring each district elects one representative. This is a procedural redistricting bill with no policy changes beyond establishing district boundaries.
