Louisiana Tightens Voter Registration Rules
News summary

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed an executive order aimed at preventing noncitizens from voting, requiring all state agencies to include a notice that only citizens can vote on voter registration forms. The order mandates that the Office of Motor Vehicles share a list of noncitizens and non-permanent residents with the Secretary of State to ensure they are not on voter rolls. Secretary of State Nancy Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill supported the executive action, linking it to issues of illegal immigration and voter integrity. Republicans have made similar moves in other states, tying these measures to broader concerns about election security and immigration policies. This executive order follows the passage of multiple voting-related bills in Louisiana, emphasizing the need for election integrity. The initiative comes as part of the broader Republican focus on noncitizen voting and border policy issues ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
