Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin (R) will not seek re-election.
Early voting gets underway in Louisiana tomorrow, and except for this Sunday, will continue through Saturday, November 6th. Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin says the ballots casts are for the November 13th election that quite frankly is lacking hotly contested races. “Local areas of Baton Rouge there’s a judicial race, but most areas it’s just a constitutional amendment or some local propositions and of course municipal elections in Orleans Parish,” said Ardoin.
You can download the smartphone app, Geaux Vote Mobile, to locate your parish’s early voting locations and a sample ballot.
Ardoin says four constitutional amendments are on the ballot statewide but aren’t likely to produce a stampede to polling locations. He says, “these are important constitutional amendments to look at but of course you know they usually don’t bring a lot of people to the polls.”
Ardoin notes that the registrar’s office in New Orleans won’t be used for early voting because of social distancing problems and so a nearby building will be used as an alternate location to cast early ballots. “The LSU Health Sciences Center we found, its set up is going great and we’re really pleased with that location,” said Ardoin. The center is located at 433 Bolivar at the corner of Gravier and Bolivar.
Early voting also requires you to present identification, such as your driver’s license.
