Verification of registration information
The voter registration information provided by the applicant shall be verified as follows:
A. Applicants who have a Louisiana driver's license, Louisiana special identification card, or social
security number:
(1) The registration information provided by the applicant shall be verified to ensure that the
Louisiana driver's license number, Louisiana special identification card number, or the last four digits of the
social security number provided by the applicant match the information maintained by the Louisiana
Department of Public Safety and Corrections or the Social Security Administration.
(a) If a match is made, the registrar of voters shall add the applicant to the official list of voters and
the registrar shall send a notice of registration to the applicant.
(b) If a match cannot be made, the registrar of voters shall notify the applicant in writing and inform
him that he has ten days from the date on which the verification letter was mailed to respond to the
verification letter. If the applicant responds to the verification letter and the registrar determines that the
registration information can be verified and that he is eligible to register, the applicant shall be added to the
official list of voters and the registrar shall send a notice of registration to the applicant. In the event the
applicant does not respond to the verification letter within ten days, the application shall be rejected and the
registrar shall so advise the applicant in writing. If the registrar's verification letter is returned by the United
States Postal Service, the application shall be rejected and the registrar shall attempt to notify the applicant
of such action.
(c) In the event the applicant responds to the verification letter and the registrar determines that the
registration information cannot be verified, the registrar shall notify the applicant in writing and inform him
that he has ten days from the date on which the final verification letter was mailed to appear in person at the
registrar of voters office to prove his identity. If the applicant appears in person and the registrar determines
that the applicant is able to prove his identity and that he is eligible to register, the applicant shall be added
to the official list of voters and the registrar shall send a notice of registration to the applicant. If the
applicant fails to appear in person at the registrar of voters office or fails to prove his identity, the application
shall be rejected and the registrar shall so advise the applicant in writing. If the registrar's final verification
letter is returned by the United States Postal Service, the application shall be rejected and the registrar shall
attempt to notify the applicant of such action.
