§198. Change of residence or change in address; inquiry by registrar; change of records
A. Whenever a registrar has reason to believe that a registrant has changed his residence within the parish or that a change has occurred in the registrant's mailing address within the parish, the registrar shall mail the address confirmation card as provided in R.S. 18:193(B) to the registrant, but shall not place the voter on the inactive list of voters.
B. The card shall inform the voter that he must notify the registrar of his current address.
C. The registrar shall send such card to the registrant's address shown on the registration records and to the address the registrar believes to be the registrant's new address. Upon return of the card, signed by the registrant, the registrar shall enter any change in the registrant's information on the state voter registration computer system and, if the original application is available in hard copy in the registrar's office, on the original application for registration.
D. If the registrant fails to return the card, the registrar then shall follow the procedures set forth in R.S. 18:193 with respect to challenge.
