This bill amends and reenacts several sections of Louisiana's election laws, specifically R.S. 18:192, 193(H), and 198(A), while enacting R.S. 18:191.1 and repealing R.S. 18:193(B) and (I). The legislation establishes new criteria for the annual canvass of registered voters, detailing the responsibilities of the Department of State in verifying voter registration information. It mandates the development of an address confirmation notice that informs registrants of their voting rights and outlines the process for updating voter registration information based on corrections provided by the United States Postal Service.

Key changes include the requirement for the Department of State to conduct an annual canvass by June 30th, identifying registrants who have not engaged in voting or registration activities over the past ten years. These registrants will receive an address confirmation notice and be transferred to the inactive list of voters. Additionally, the bill clarifies that if a voter's registration is canceled due to an error by the registrar or the Department of State, it must be reinstated. The effective date for this legislation is set for March 31, 2025.
