Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin (R) will not seek re-election.
Voters head to the polls tomorrow in Louisiana, but for most there’s not a lot to cast their votes on. Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin says every registered voter will have the opportunity to decide the outcome of four constitutional amendments. “These constitutional amendments are important. They’re going to provide some kind of trajectory moving forward for our state whether it’s reform or sustaining what we have,” said Ardoin.
Orleans Parish has the most items on the ballot because of municipal races, including the bid by Mayor LaToya Cantrell for a second term. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. (Any absentee ballots have to be received by 4:30 Friday afternoon, November 12.)
Ardoin says because of an expected 35 percent voter turnout in Orleans Parish, voters statewide should be aware that New Orleans could have the largest impact on the fate of the constitutional amendments. He says, “that gives them kind of a leg up if folks around the state don’t turn out then New Orleans is going to have a greater impact on the constitutional amendments than probably most folks would want.”
Ardoin says if you aren’t sure where your polling location is or what’s on your ballot you can visit the website geauxvote.com. (that’s g-e-a-u-x vote-dot.com) “You’ve got your sample ballot on there, driving directions to your polling locations, everything’s there, everything you need and it’ll be a quick and painless experience, I promise,” said Ardoin.
A note, that Terrebonne Parish has moved 40 of its 77 polling locations and Lafourche relocated ten in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida.
