Early voting opens

Registered voters in the Tri-parish region have opportunities to cast their ballots early without a required reason.

The Louisiana Secretary of State’s Office has announced dates for early voting during this year’s gubernatorial primary and general elections. State ordinances require that parish registrars of voters offer the 14 days prior to any scheduled election for voters to cast ballots. Individual parishes set the locations and open their doors between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Early voting for the gubernatorial primary and general elections is scheduled for Oct. 8-15 (except Sunday) for the Oct. 22 primary, and Nov. 5-12 (except Sunday and Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11) for the general election on Nov. 19.

Early voting locations in the Tri-parishes include the Terrebonne Parish Registrar of Voters office, 8756 Main St. in Houma, Lafourche Parish Registrar of Voters offices at 307 W. 4th St. in Thibodaux and the South Lafourche Library Building at 16241 E. Main St. in Cut Off, St. Mary Registrar of Voters offices at 101 Wilson St. in Franklin and 301 3rd St. in Morgan City.
