(1) Prior to January 1, 2010, the person was approved by a parish board of election supervisors as being eligible to participate in the Special Program for Handicapped Voters as such program existed prior to January 1, 2010.

(2) The person had submitted to the registrar for his previous parish of registration current proof of disability from a physician along with a certification from the physician indicating that by reason of the voter's disability the voter is unable to appear in person to vote either during early voting or at the polling place on election day.

B. The registrar of voters for the new parish of registration shall request a copy of the documentation on file relating to the person's disability from the registrar of voters for the person's previous parish of registration.
