Early voting locations open tomorrow morning for the gubernatorial primary. Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin says location hours are 8:30 am until 6 pm and ballots can be cast until October 5th, except for the Sunday in the time period.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to have new voting equipment for early voting and we think the voters will have a good experience,” said Ardoin.
Election Day falls on October 12th, which is also the day of an SEC matchup at Tiger Stadium, so Ardoin encourages voters to take care of voting early so more attention can be put on football.
“LSU will be playing at home against the Florida Gators and as we all know once football is kicked off, people are all about football, so we want to remind people to early vote if they plan on going to the LSU game.
Early voting typically represents 20-25% of all votes cast. Voters will need to have photo ID or the LA Wallet app. Ardoin says if you need to know where to go for early voting, they’ve got all the info you need online.
“I encourage anyone to go to geauxvote.com, which is our voter portal, and look up their local voting site,” said Ardoin.
