contents Given a plane geometric graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, we want to augment it so that given parity constraints of the vertex degrees are met. In other words, given a subset $R$ of the vertices, we are interested in a plane geometric supergraph $G'$ such that exactly the vertices of $R$ have odd degree in $G'\setminus G$. We show that the question whether such a supergraph exists can be decided in polynomial time for two interesting cases. First, when the vertices are in convex position, we present a linear-time algorithm. Building on this insight, we solve the case when $G$ is a plane geometric path in $O(n \log n)$ time. This solves an open problem posed by Catana, Olaverri, Tejel, and Urrutia (Appl. Math. Comput. 2020).
