House Resolution No. by Representative Ivey directs the Secretary of State to amend the administrative code to designate sheriffs' offices and other law enforcement agencies as voter registration agencies. This amendment is in accordance with R.S. 18:116(A)(2), which allows for the designation of offices within the state to serve as voter registration agencies. The resolution highlights that sheriffs and correctional officers currently provide mail registration application forms to eligible individuals in their custody, making it appropriate for these law enforcement entities to officially facilitate voter registration.

The resolution aims to enhance voter registration opportunities for individuals who are eligible to register and vote while in the custody of law enforcement. By designating these offices as voter registration agencies, the resolution seeks to streamline the process and ensure that eligible voters have access to registration services. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the Secretary of State for implementation.
