EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
Proposed law may result in an indeterminable one-time increase in Local Fund expenditures for Registrars of Voters to
provide assistance to voters registering to vote using the electronic voter registration application. The Department of State
reports that not all Registrars of Voters have the equipment necessary to assist individuals who want to complete the
electronic voter registration application process. Proposed law may result in one-time costs to purchase equipment, for
example - a tablet, kiosk, or computer. Under current law, the parish governing authority is responsible for providing all
necessary equipment for the registrar.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
