Increased the number of required election commissioners from two to four for precincts with more than 300 active registered voters during closed party primaries.

Increased the number of required election commissioners from three to four for precincts with more than 300 active registered voters during fall general elections held on the sixth Saturday after the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of a congressional election year.

Added specific language defining the timing of the affected fall general elections relative to congressional election years.

The document title was updated from 'REENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED' to reflect final approval by the Governor.

Signatures and titles for the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and Governor were added to certify the bill.

The 'Digest' section, which provided a summary of the bill's purpose and amendments, was removed as it is not part of the final law.

The page header was updated to reflect the new 'ENROLLED' status.

Updated the legislative instruction for amending R.S. 18:425(A)(1) to include the word 'reenacted,' clarifying that the existing law is being re-adopted with changes rather than just amended.
