BATON ROUGE, La. — Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin is reminding voters that early voting will continue from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Tuesday, Oct. 27 daily, excluding Sunday, Oct. 18, and Sunday, Oct. 25. He is also encouraging all eligible Louisianians to consider voting early for the November 3 Presidential and Open Congressional Primary election.
Citizens who want to vote early may do so in person at the parish registrar of voters office or at other designated locations. Due to Hurricane’s Laura and Delta, some polling locations have been relocated. For a complete listing of early voting locations, please visit https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/EarlyVoting.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our polling commissioners will be supplied with personal protective equipment and will regularly sanitize designated areas and wipe down voting machines between each voter. Hand sanitizer will be provided to voters and masks are recommended, although not required.
In addition to a Louisiana driver’s license, a Louisiana Special ID, or a generally recognized ID with picture and signature, voters may use a digital license via LA Wallet.
