HB270

Allows qualified incarcerated voters to vote absentee by mail in Louisiana.

Louisiana HB270 amends existing law to allow qualified incarcerated voters to vote absentee by mail. This bill retains current law, which permits incarcerated individuals who are not convicted felons to vote absentee by mail. HB270 ensures that these individuals can vote absentee by mail the first time they apply, without needing to vote in person. This change applies to individuals incarcerated in institutions inside or outside the parish where they are qualified to vote.
