Complete·5/15/26

Louisiana HB551 allows registrars of voters to use commissioners to assist with the nursing home early voting program.

Louisiana HB551 amends existing law to allow registrars of voters to use commissioners to assist with the nursing home early voting program. The bill specifies that commissioners must take an oath of office as deputy registrars and complete an affidavit acknowledging the confidentiality of voter information. Commissioners are paid $150 per day for their assistance and must adhere to the same rules as those assisting with general early voting. The bill also retains the current compensation structure for commissioners.
