Early voting for Louisiana’s March 29 Election has started, lasting until March 22, with low participation reported. The voting locations have moved due to renovations, and voters are encouraged to cast their ballots.
Early voting for Louisiana’s March 29 Election has commenced, running until March 22, and takes place daily except Sundays. This election features four statewide constitutional amendments and multiple local races across Central Louisiana (Cenla).
The registrar of voters’ offices will be open from 8:30 AM to 6 PM daily throughout the early voting period. Rapides Parish Registrar of Voters, Sandra Bonnette, noted a low early voting turnout. Just over 1,100 in-person votes and approximately 1,700 mail-in ballots have been recorded.
A turnout of 30% is considered satisfactory, yet with around 83,000 registered voters, current participation is underwhelming, typical for elections focused solely on amendments and a few candidate races. Voters are encouraged to mail their ballots promptly if voting by mail.
For voters in Rapides Parish, the Registrar of Voters Office has relocated to the Kinetix building at 900 4th Street in downtown Alexandria due to ongoing renovations at the courthouse. Bonnette stated that this temporary relocation will last approximately 8 to 12 months, apologizing for any inconvenience caused.
In summary, early voting for Louisiana’s March 29 Election is ongoing until March 22, with low turnout reported by officials. Voters are encouraged to participate as there are important constitutional amendments and local races on the ballot. The Registrar of Voters Office has relocated temporarily due to courthouse renovations.
