Suspends until the 60th day after adjournment of the 2021 R.S. the provisions of present law (R.S.
18:521(B)(2)) providing that the qualification of a voter to vote on a candidate for membership on
a political party committee shall be subject to all of the following provisions:

candidate for membership on a committee of the political party to which he has thus
affiliated within 30 days after the date on which the registrar notes the change on the original
application form. During this same period he may not vote for any candidate for membership
on a party committee for the political party which he has renounced and abandoned, and the
registrar shall so inform him.
(2)A designation of party affiliation by a registrant previously not affiliated with a party renders
the registrant eligible to vote in the election next following the designation which is at least
30 days after the date on which the registrar notes the party affiliation on the original
application form.
(3)A designation of no party affiliation by a registrant previously affiliated with a party shall be
effective for elections held at least 30 days after the date on which the registrar notes the no-
party affiliation on the original application form. During this same period he may not vote
for any candidate for membership on a party committee for the political party which he has
renounced and abandoned, and the registrar shall so inform him.
