Secretary of State Nancy Landry reminds voters that Saturday, March 29 is Election Day for the Municipal Primary Election.

In preparation for the election, Secretary Landry encourages voters to remember:

●       The deadline to request an absentee ballot is March 25 by 4:30 p.m. (other than military and overseas voters). Voters can request an absentee ballot online through the Voter Portal or in writing through the Registrar of Voters Office.

●       The deadline for a voter to return a voted absentee ballot to their parish’s Registrar of Voters Office is March 28 by 4:30 p.m. (other than military and overseas voters).

●       Due to unpredictable mail delivery speeds, absentee voters utilizing the United States Postal Service are encouraged to allow additional time for their ballot to reach its destination.

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

●       Voters can find their polling location and sample ballot by downloading the GeauxVote Mobile app for smartphones, or by visiting www.GeauxVote.com and logging into the Voter Portal.

●       Voters are encouraged to sign up for electronic notifications 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).
