HB691

Provides for the verification of citizenship of registered voters (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

Complete·5/15/26

Louisiana HB691 requires annual verification of voter citizenship using the federal SAVE program.

Louisiana HB691 enacts a law requiring the secretary of state to annually submit voter information to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The bill mandates the investigation of potential noncitizen registrants by the division of election integrity, with findings submitted to appropriate prosecutorial agencies. Verified noncitizen matches are to be transmitted to parish registrars to challenge the individual's registration. The law also includes reporting requirements and applies only if SAVE remains available without cost to the state.
