ENROLLED
2021 Regular Session
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOL UTION NO. 60
BY REPRESENTATIVE CREWS
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To urge and request the secretary of state to study the implementation of a notification
system to alert a voter regarding the status of his vote.
WHEREAS, in 2020, Louisiana saw the highest election turnout in nearly 25 years,
with 70.1% of registered voters casting a ballot, in approximately 4,000 precincts across the
state; and
WHEREAS, there has been an increase in absentee by mail and early voting within
the state and throughout the country; and
WHEREAS, some voters are demanding an extra layer of security assuring them that
they have successfully cast their vote; and
WHEREAS, the vast majority of states, including Louisiana, allow voters to track
a mail ballot from the time it is mailed to when it has been successfully counted; however,
such tracking is not automated; and
WHEREAS, automated notifications would provide peace of mind for voters who
want to ensure their ballot is properly received and their vote is counted; and
WHEREAS, such notifications would be beneficial for those who vote by mail as
well as for those who vote in person during early voting and on election day.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the secretary of state to study the implementation of a notification system
to alert a voter regarding the status of his vote.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
secretary of state.
