Summary

The bill updates early‑voting statutes to let parish registrars stay open on Sundays in parishes with 230,000 or more residents and to operate longer hours on weekdays. It also allows registrars to use alternate public sites when needed and obligates the state, via the secretary of state, to pay the extra expenses incurred.
