Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 18, § 61. Deputy acting for registrar; administration of oaths

A. (1) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the constitution and laws relating to registration of voters, and when authorized by the registrar, a deputy registrar may act for and in the name of the registrar by whom he is employed. No clerk or other employee in a registrar's office may register any person to vote unless he meets the qualifications set forth in R.S. 18:59 for deputy registrars and is deputized for the purpose.

(2) A person employed by a registrar as a confidential assistant may be so deputized without losing his status as confidential assistant in the unclassified service by reason thereof as long as he remains employed as confidential assistant, and in such case he shall receive only the salary of confidential assistant.
