§ La. R.S. 18:102(untitled)

Ineligible persons
A. No person shall be permitted to register or vote who is:
(1)(a) Under an order of imprisonment, as defined in R.S. 18:2, for conviction of a felony, except
as provided in Subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph.
(b) Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph, a person who is under an order of
imprisonment for conviction of a felony and who has not been incarcerated pursuant to the order within the
last five years shall not be ineligible to register or vote based on the order.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be permitted to register or vote
pursuant to this Section if he is convicted of a felony offense of election fraud or any other election offense
pursuant to R.S. 18:1461.2 and he is under an order of imprisonment.
(2) Interdicted after being judicially declared to be mentally incompetent as a result of a full
interdiction proceeding pursuant to Civil Code Article 389. A person subject to a limited interdiction
pursuant to Civil Code Article 390 shall be permitted to register and vote unless the court in that proceeding
specifically suspends the interdicted person's right to vote in the judgment of interdiction. If a person was
previously subject to full interdiction, which has been changed to a limited interdiction, that person shall be
eligible to register and vote unless the judgment of limited interdiction specifically suspends that right.
(3) Not a citizen of the United States of America.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (A)(1) of this Section or any other provision of law
to the contrary, a person who was convicted of a felony prior to the effective date of the 1974 Constitution
of Louisiana who has fully satisfied and completed his sentence shall not be ineligible to register to vote, nor
shall he be prohibited from voting, based upon that conviction.
C. For purposes of this Chapter, "incarcerated pursuant to the order" means actual confinement in
a correctional facility pursuant to the order of imprisonment, including confinement after conviction but prior
to sentencing for which the person is given credit in the order and confinement following revocation of
probation or parole. "Incarcerated pursuant to the order" does not include confinement pursuant to a
violation of a condition of probation or parole that does not result in revocation.
