YOU DO NOT NEED A REASON TO VOTE EARLY! All voters may vote early, just like they are voting on Election Day.
Voters who want to vote early for any election may do so in person at their parish Registrar of Voters office or at designated locations in the parish from fourteen days to seven days prior to any scheduled election. Refer to the schedule below for early voting time periods for upcoming elections and refer to the Schedule of Elections for future time periods.
The Registrars will open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for each day of early voting. When you go to cast your vote early, you will be asked to identify yourself with either a photo ID or signature on a voter affidavit. You may use a driver's license, a Louisiana Special ID, or some other generally recognized picture ID that has your name and signature. You may wish to contact your local Registrar of Voters office for specific locations, dates and times.
