The bill amends existing voter registration laws in Louisiana to enhance the requirements for eligibility. Specifically, it introduces a new provision stating that individuals who are not citizens of the United States are ineligible to register or vote. Additionally, the bill mandates that the voter registration application form must include questions regarding U.S. citizenship and age, along with a directive that applicants who answer "no" to either question should not complete the form.

Furthermore, the bill requires that each applicant submit proof of U.S. citizenship along with their registration application. This change aims to ensure that only eligible citizens can participate in the electoral process. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2025.
