Senate Bill No. by Senator Jenkins and Representative Chassion amends R.S. 18:115.1(A) to enhance voter registration processes in Louisiana by providing for electronic registration assistance. The bill allows individuals with a valid Louisiana driver's license or special identification card to register to vote or update their registration online through the secretary of state's website. Additionally, it introduces a provision for those who may require internet access or assistance, allowing them to complete the electronic voter registration application process in person at their local registrar of voters' office.

The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that individuals needing assistance can utilize in-person resources at the registrar's office, thereby ensuring that all eligible voters have access to the registration process, regardless of their internet capabilities. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for bills to become law without a signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution.
