§109. Notice of registration and change in registration

After receiving from the registrar the information concerning a new registrant or the information concerning a change made with respect to the registration of any person, the Department of State promptly shall mail a notice to the appropriate registrar that the person is registered or that his registration has been changed. The registrar shall then mail a notice, postage prepaid, to each new registrant and to each person whose registration was changed in any manner a notice that he is registered or that his registration has been changed. The notice shall show the parish, ward, precinct, registration address, and party affiliation of the registrant. However, the registrar shall not be required to send such a notice to any voter who has been on the inactive list of voters for at least two years unless the change in registration involves a change in the voter's address. The secretary of state shall prescribe the form to be used on the notice; however, the front of the notice shall contain directions to the postmaster to "deliver only as addressed; otherwise return to sender; address correction requested", and the return address shall be that of the registrar. When a notice is returned by the postmaster, the registrar shall proceed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part V of this Chapter.
