LAPLACE – The Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin is reminding everyone that Oct. 12 is Election Day. There are candidate races and constitutional amendments in all parishes, including St. John the Baptist.

In preparation for Saturday’s Election Day activities, Secretary Ardoin is encouraging voters to remember:

Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Anyone in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

Voter polling location and sample ballot can be found by downloading the free GeauxVote Mobile app for smartphones or by visiting www.GeauxVote.com.

Voters can also sign up for text alerts via GeauxVote Mobile.

Voters should bring an ID with them to vote (Louisiana driver’s license, Louisiana Special ID card, a generally recognized picture identification card with name and signature such as a passport or a digital license via LA Wallet). Voters without an ID will be required to fill out an affidavit, but will be allowed to vote.

 

A paper ballot was in the Oct. 9 edition of L’OBSERVATEUR, and readers can keep track of election night results via www.lobservateur.com and on L’OBSERVATEUR’s Facebook page.
