House Concurrent 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 the Secretary of State to designate offices to serve as voter registration agencies. The resolution recognizes that sheriffs and correctional officers currently provide mail registration application forms to eligible voters in their custody, and it is deemed appropriate to formalize this process.

The resolution aims to enhance voter registration opportunities for individuals in custody by officially designating law enforcement offices as voter registration agencies. By doing so, it seeks to ensure that eligible voters have access to the necessary resources to register and participate in elections, thereby promoting civic engagement among those who may otherwise face barriers to registration. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the Secretary of State for implementation.
