§133. Branch offices; mobile registration units; mandatory registration drives
A. All branch offices, whether temporary or permanent, shall be located in permanent buildings, except mobile registration units. However, if a branch office of a registrar is destroyed, inaccessible, or unsafe during or following a gubernatorially declared state of emergency, the registrar may utilize a temporary building as a branch office until an office that meets the requirements of this Section becomes available. Such branch office shall be located within the parish, or if there is no appropriate location within the parish due to the emergency, then in an immediately adjacent parish, or if there is no appropriate location in any immediately adjacent parish due to the emergency, then in the nearest parish in which there is an appropriate location.
B. Any or all branch offices, whether permanent or temporary, and any or all mobile registration units, in operation on December 31, 1977, may be continued in operation by the governing authority heretofore responsible therefor, and those continued in operation shall continue to be funded by the state or local authorities heretofore made responsible therefor.
C. In addition to the offices continued in Subsection B of this Section, the registrar of each parish, with prior approval and at the expense of the parish governing authority, may provide permanent branch offices at sites selected by, and operated by the registrar.
D. In addition to the offices required or authorized by this Section, the registrar of each parish, with prior approval of the parish governing authority, may establish, maintain and operate additional temporary branch offices for the registration of voters. The location of these offices shall be determined by the registrar.
E. In each parish, the parish governing authority may provide for one or more mobile registration units for the registration of voters within the parish, which shall be at the expense of the parish governing authority. The registration books shall not be carried in any such mobile unit. In each of these parishes the registrar shall activate the mobile registration units whenever he deems it necessary in order to afford maximum registration service to the residents of the parish. The locations of these units shall be determined by the registrar. Each mobile unit shall be equipped with a fire extinguisher.
The provisions of this Subsection shall not be construed to allow house-to-house registration of voters.
F. Repealed by Acts 1994, 3rd Ex. Sess., No. 10, §2, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
Acts 1976, No. 697, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1978; Acts 1985, No. 754, §1; Acts 1988, No. 661, §1; Acts 1994, 3rd Ex. Sess., No. 10, §2, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; Acts 2006, No. 403, §1, eff. June 15, 2006.
