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 all applicants for voter registration must provide proof of their U.S. citizenship along with their application.

Furthermore, the application form for voter registration will now include specific questions regarding citizenship and age, instructing applicants who answer "no" to either question not to complete the form. These changes aim to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in the electoral process. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2025.
