ELECTIONS: Provides relative to voter registration (OR +$7,038,346 GF EX See Note)
This bill updates Louisiana's voter registration laws to strengthen data privacy and improve communication with voters. It requires the Secretary of State to notify voters via multiple methods before sharing sensitive personal information with federal agencies and establishes a notification system to inform voters about changes to their registration status, such as being placed on an inactive list or facing cancellation. The legislation creates a bipartisan Voter Data Transparency Task Force to review voter maintenance reports and cancellation rates across different demographics, and it sets specific timelines and procedures for challenging registrations and removing voters from the rolls.
