Citizens who were registered to vote by Oct. 11 may head to the polls starting next week for early voting.
“I encourage you to become an active and informed voter. As Americans, the constitutional right to vote is one of our most precious rights,” Melanie J. Smith, Webster Parish Registrar of Voters said. “When you participate in the election process, your vote affects your nation, your state, your parish, and your community. Your vote does make a difference.”
Early voting begins Tuesday, Oct. 25 and last through Tuesday, Nov. 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Two locations in Webster Parish are available to voters, the Webster Parish Courthouse, 410 Main St. in Minden and Springhill Civic Center, 101 Machen Drive in Springhill.
Both locations will close on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Voters who do not early vote at these locations or send in an official absentee ballot will have a final opportunity on election day Tuesday, Nov. 8.
