Early voting will be hel from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. No voting will be held on Sept. 29.

In addition to early voting, if eligible, voters may request a mail ballot. Voters may obtain a form from the Registrar of Voters Office or by visiting www.sos.la.gov.

Election day is scheduled for Oct. 12 and polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As a reminder, Louisiana law requires a pictured identification card to vote at the polling place. This can include a Louisiana driver’s license, a Louisiana Special ID card or other generally recognized picture identification card.

If you do not have a picture ID card, you may be asked to sign a voter identification affidavit which will be attached to the Precinct Register at the polling place.
