Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 18:1308(B), relative to elections; to provide for hand delivery of absentee by mail ballots; to provide for the manner, location, and time periods for receiving hand delivered ballots; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill amends Louisiana law to provide for the hand delivery of absentee by mail ballots. Specifically, it allows voters or their authorized representatives to hand deliver absentee ballots to the registrar's principal office, branch office, or an early voting location in the parish where the voter is registered, during the applicable time periods for absentee voting and early voting. The bill also requires the person making the hand delivery to sign a statement certifying they have the voter's authorization to do so, and limits each person to delivering no more than one ballot per election, except for immediate family members.
