LAPLACE — Monday through Friday is Voter Registration and Education Week.

Registrar of Voters Russell H. Jack Jr. said he is going to use the time to encourage young people to register to vote by visiting four local schools in an effort to answer all questions about the registration process.

The outreach is not centralized specifically for teenagers, as Jack said he has planned visits to the East Bank and West Bank Council on Aging locations that are open for local residents to attend, as well.

“The (school) events are open to students and getting them prepared to register to vote and the importance of voting,” Jack said. “(Local residents) can either come to the (Registrar’s) office in LaPlace or at the Council of Aging events.”

St. John Govrnment stressed there are several options available for casting votes during an election.

In addition to early voting and Election Day, seniors, individuals with mobility impairments, students and residents who will be out-of-town for the election can vote by mail.

Residents can obtain ballots by mail by calling the Registrar of Voters Office at (985) 652-9797.
