Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday for registered voters to cast their ballots at their pre-designated voting locations. Without proper identification, a registered voter cannot cast his vote. According to the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office, such ID includes a driver’s license, a Louisiana Special ID or some other generally recognized picture ID that contains your name and signature. Voters who have no picture ID may bring a utility bill, payroll check or government document that includes their name and address, but they will have to sign an affidavit furnished by the Elections Division in order to vote. Disabled voters may receive assistance. Guidelines are found here: http://www.sos.la.gov/tabid/170/Default.aspx. For a sample ballot, visit https://voterportal.sos.la.gov. The state also has produced an iPhone app called Geaux Vote Mobile in which voters can find out where to vote, what’s on the ballot and other summarized voter registration and elections information. Also, sample ballots specific to each precinct also are posted at that precinct. Voters should be familiar with their choices before entering as each is given three minutes in the booth.
Primary for state, parish elections is Saturday
