Louisiana House Passes Bill Extending Presidential Filing Period

On June 4, the Louisiana House unanimously passed HB 420, which extends the deadline for an independent presidential candidate to file his or her slate of presidential electors. Existing law requires this to be done by the first Tuesday in September, but the bill changes that to the Friday after the first Tuesday in September. The bill also makes the deadline for qualified parties to file their elector slates less ambiguous.
