CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to amend the National Voter Registration Act.
This bill is a formal request from the Louisiana Legislature asking the U.S. Congress to update the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The proposed change aims to modernize voter registration rules by explicitly incorporating state departments of motor vehicles and other public service agencies into the process, reflecting current practices like online registration. By urging these updates, the bill seeks to streamline how citizens register to vote and ensure voter rolls remain accurate through the use of modern technology.
